MacRumors observes:
The Apple Pencil depicted also appears to have a considerably larger tip component than in existing versions, with a much longer section that screws into the Apple Pencil itself, possibly hinting at new technology to support additional features or provide greater drawing accuracy.
The original Apple Pencil launched alongside the first iPad Pro back in 2015.
It has Bluetooth connectivity along with a built-in Lightning port for charging and works with the fifth-generation iPad mini, third-generation iPad Air, sixth-generation iPad and later, both 9.7 and 10.5-inch iPad Pro and the first and second-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
The second-generation model launched alongside the revamped iPad Pro in 2018. The Apple Pencil 2, which only works with the iPad Air 4 and the iPad Pros manufactured in 2018 and later, replaces Lightning charging with its inductive counterpart.
Apple’s Spring Loaded special event takes place on Tuesday, June 08, 2025, at 10am PDT. iDB will be providing remote live coverage of the announcements as they’re happening.
