News & Reviews:   Apple Pencil

Apple Pencil has become a must-have accessory for the new iPads. If users want to unlock the full potential of the iPads, Apple Pencil is the key. However, not everyone can afford all these products together. Therefore, the company might be planning to make a budget version of the accessory, and we think it's better than nothing.

The next Apple iPad mini will reportedly feature a major design change to match with the current full-screen iPads. Earlier, we've already witnessed the iPad mini 6's aluminium production moulds, with colourful renders appearing later. Now, an accessory maker has also shown its version of the iPad mini 6 that has some interesting changes.

Over the past few years, the Touch Bar has been featured on some MacBook models to allow applications to utilize touch gestures to interact with their functions. However, Apple might take the next step to bring something different to future MacBooks. According to sources, the Touch Bar could be replaced by a slot for Apple Pencil in the coming years.

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.

According to a source, Apple could be phasing out the iPad mini and replace it with a much larger iPhone. Other than featuring a large display, the device is also claimed to have stylus-support. For now, it is suggested to be a folding iPhone that everyone is waiting for.

There were a lot of big announcements from Apple's WWDC 2020 today and one of them is the iPadOS 14. So what's in store for the tablet users? Plenty, there are upcoming new features and designs such as the Multi-Touch display, Siri interactions, new design for FaceTime and network calls, and many more. Besides that, there are new Apple Pencil features too so let's take a look at them. 

Based on a statement by IHS Markit analyst Jeff Lin, Apple could be planning to manufacture a 12-inch foldable iPad and it is expected to be launched around the year 2020. In addition to the foldability, the rumoured iPad is expected to come equipped with 5G-network capabilities as well as Apple Pencil support.

Apple did not waste any time by introducing new updates and features on the upcoming iOS 13 in the WWDC 19 event. That said, the iPad owners aren't left out as well and there is a new iPadOS name with plenty of updates. This includes a new way to work in multiple windows, a redesigned Home screen, Apple Pencil usage and more for both consumers and content creators alike.

The Apple Pencil is currently an iPad Pro-only device, so the desktop Apple products can’t take advantage of the flexibility and creative options that is available with the Pencil. Now however we may just see something for the desktop in the near future, as Apple as just patented a Pencil-like device, but for the desktop.

The folks from iFixit are at it again, last week they tore down the Apple Pencil stylus open and now the Apple Smart Keyboard. How well did it go? Well, they aren’t impossible to be opened. But repairability wise, not so good.
