Apple Pencil 3 will feature replaceable magnetic tips

Since 2018, Apple has maintained a consistent offering of the second-generation Apple Pencil alongside its iPad Pros, even as the latter has progressed through three subsequent generations. While the rumor mill has churned out occasional whispers of a new Pencil, tangible results have yet to materialize. However, the latest rumor, courtesy of seasoned tipster Majin Bu, suggests that the tech giant is at last sculpting a third-generation Apple Pencil, this time featuring interchangeable magnetic tips, which would mark a considerable advancement from the present model, with its singular, replaceable nib.

This new functionality would enable users to tailor their Apple Pencil to varied uses, spanning drawing, technical sketching, and painting, and would conveniently facilitate tip replacement should wear or damage occur. Majin Bu unveiled details of these purported new tips on social media, providing visual examples to illustrate potential variations in thickness and size.

In a move that lends credibility to this rumor, Apple secured a patent in 2021 for interchangeable nibs. Additionally, with the company actively developing new iPad models for the coming year, it seems plausible that the third-generation Apple Pencil may be unveiled in tandem with them.

Beyond the realm of interchangeable tips, further speculation around the Apple Pencil 3 includes enhanced precision and a boost in battery life – two features that have lingered on users’ wish lists for some time. If these rumors prove accurate, it could signal a substantial upgrade from the current Apple Pencil model, amplifying its versatility and utility for users.
