Last week we talked to you about how in Cupertino they seemed to be working on a stylus that can draw in the air, but it seems that this project has not distracted them from others less spectacular but at least viable for the near future and again we have predictions that point to the iPad Pro 2018 would arrive with a new Apple Pencil.
An iPad Pro 2018 with a new Apple Pencil seems an increasingly safe bet
As always with all these types of forecasts and leaks, the latter must also be taken with the usual precautions, but as the Spanish proverb already warns (when the river sounds ...) when so many different sources insist on pointing in the same direction, the experience tells us that they usually have some truth, and a new Apple Pencil for this 2018 it seems every time a less risky bet.
How they tell us in Apple Insider, this time the prediction of a new Apple Pencil for this year it comes from an analyst, along with references to a cheaper HomePod, to a possible iPhone SE. He also mentions that the iPad Pro 2018 It will have TrueDepth cameras, which means that it will have facial recognition, something that at this point and despite the fact that we have a lot ahead of us, few doubt.
The new Apple Pencil wouldn't be exclusive to the iPad Pro
Unfortunately, what this analyst tells us about new Apple Pencil It is not much, but the little it tells us is very significant, because its bet is that it will be compatible not only with the iPad Pro 2018, but also with the next iPhone XSomething that has also been circulating rumors for a long time and that seems reasonable if the model of more than 6 inches becomes a reality.
In any case, there is little doubt that a Apple Pencil that could be used with the iPhone It should be very different from the current one, which fits perfectly with other information that had circulated pointing out that in Cupertino they want to make their stylus not only a tool for designers and artists, but a more useful accessory for an average user, in the style of the S Pen.
By the end of the year?
As we have said before, we have a long time ahead of us for more news to reach us and more speculation about what we can expect from the next tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and its accessories: all the news we have had so far about the iPad Pro 2018 launch They put it at the end of the year, which invites you to think that it would take the stage at the event that they traditionally celebrate in September for iPhone.
We may, however, have news of a new iPad much earlier, although this is something about which there is much more uncertainty and in any case we can almost certainly rule out that it was a Pro model: if these forecasts are fulfilled, it will surely be an update of the iPad 9.7Something that, by the way, may attract less attention but that we want to see.
And each one continues to copy each other, so much so that Apple criticized Samsung for the use of the pencil and now it is going to impose it on their devices
