Apple has recently introduced a new Apple Pencil that features a hidden USB-C port for charging and pairing. The new stylus is a more affordable option for iPad users who want to enjoy the benefits of digital handwriting, sketching, and annotating.
The new Apple Pencil has a similar design as the second-generation Apple Pencil, but it has a sliding cap at the top that reveals a USB-C port. Users can simply slide off the cap and plug in a USB-C cable to connect the stylus to their iPad or other devices. The cap also has a magnet that allows the Apple Pencil to attach to the side of the iPad for storage.
The USB-C port makes the new Apple Pencil compatible with all iPad models that have a USB-C port, including the iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, and the lower-end tenth-generation iPad. The new Apple Pencil does not support wireless charging like the second-generation model, but it offers a more convenient and universal way of charging and pairing.
Pixel-Perfect Accuracy, Low Latency, and Tilt Sensitivity
The new Apple Pencil boasts the same advanced pixel-perfect accuracy, low latency, and tilt sensitivity that customers love with the first- and second-generation models. The new stylus is ideal for note taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more. It also works great with iPadOS features like Scribble, Quick Note, and Freeform.
When used with M2 models of iPad Pro, the new Apple Pencil supports hover, allowing users to sketch and illustrate with even greater precision. Hover is a feature that lets users see where their stylus tip will land on the screen before they touch it. This can help users create more accurate and detailed drawings.
A More Affordable Option for iPad Users
The new Apple Pencil is priced at $79, making it the most affordable model in the lineup. It is $20 cheaper than the first-generation Apple Pencil and $50 cheaper than the second-generation Apple Pencil. It also offers more value and choice for iPad users who want to experience the magic of digital handwriting and creativity.
The new Apple Pencil will be available to order in early November, but a specific release date has not been announced by Apple yet. Customers can choose between two colors: white and graphite.
