New Apple Pencil allegedly spotted, features redesigned tip

Previously, it was said that Apple is expected to launch a new iPad Pro sometime this month. But it looks like the tablet isn't the only thing to get an upgrade. Sources claim that there will also be a new Apple Pencil.

A tweet from @laobaiTD shows what is allegedly a new version of Apple's stylus pen. As you can see, its glossy finish is a notable contrast with the previous Apple Pencil's matt finish. Besides that, it also seems to have a redesigned tip. If you look closely, you'll see that the tip is slightly thicker. It has also lost the screw grooves, looking more like it's a clip-in component.

Of course, a few design changes hardly makes it worth being called 'new'. Considering this, we're expecting Apple to make some changes internally too. Perhaps a bigger battery? What do you think? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about it.
