Apple “Pencil Pro” Moniker Leaks Through Apple’s Japan Website

We are eagerly awaiting Apple's upcoming event, where the company is set to reveal new additions to its iPad lineup and potentially introduce a next-generation stylus dubbed the "Pencil Pro." Amidst rumors and leaks, here's a closer look at what's on the horizon for Apple fans.

Apple Event Details If you're curious about where and how to watch the event, you can find detailed coverage in a separate post.

Apple "Pencil Pro" Stylus Recent leaks from Apple's Japanese website suggest the imminent arrival of the "Pencil Pro" stylus. While earlier assumptions pointed towards the name "Apple Pencil 3rd generation," the moniker "Pencil Pro" implies a significant leap in functionality and features. Speculations indicate haptic feedback, a new squeeze gesture, and potential compatibility with Apple's Vision Pro headset, setting it apart from its predecessors.

Japanese Website Clues Several instances of the term "Apple Pencil Pro" were discovered within the source code of Apple's Japanese website, fueling anticipation for the stylus's official unveiling. While it's crucial to approach these findings with caution, the prevalence of the term suggests a deliberate inclusion rather than a mere oversight.

Potential Features and Functionality Reports hint at revolutionary features for the "Pencil Pro," including support for a new squeeze gesture with iPadOS 17.5 and compatibility with an upcoming version of visionOS.

What to Expect at Apple's May 7th Event Apart from the Apple Pencil, the Cupertino giant is gearing up to unveil some exciting products at its upcoming event. One highlight is the introduction of the first-ever iPad Pro with OLED screens. These screens promise better colors, deeper blacks, and improved energy efficiency. The new iPad Pro might also have thinner edges, brighter displays, and could be smaller in size. Expect to see versions with 11.1-inch and 12.9-inch screens, possibly with the front camera positioned horizontally for better use.

Alongside the iPad Pro, there's talk of two new iPad Air models: one with a 10.9-inch screen and another with a larger 12.9-inch display. These might come with a different camera setup and a camera placed at the top when held horizontally. While most are likely to run on the Apple M3 chip, there's buzz about the possibility of an upgraded M4 chip.
