Tablet accessories are crucial if you want to unlock the full potential of your device, and manufacturers are well aware of this. That's why we have the S Pen for Galaxy Tabs or the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboards for iPads. It now appears that Apple is preparing to unveil the next generation of its iPad accessories.
Marc Gurman from Bloomberg spills the beans: Apple is preparing to launch revamped versions of the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. These stylish accessories are expected to hit the market alongside the next iPad
Pro.
The next Pencil, named B532, constitutes the third generation of the product. In November, the company launched a new low-end Pencil model with USB-C, which signaled Apple's transition to USB-C adoption, bidding farewell to the Lightning port.
Rumors surrounding the Apple Pencil 3 suggest a hardware overhaul, allowing for interchangeable tips that attach magnetically, simulating various instruments. Picture this: iPad Pro detects attached tips and seamlessly switches between brushes and pens in supported apps.
The upcoming Magic Keyboards, named R418 and R428, should give the iPad Pro a laptop vibe. Expect a durable aluminum frame and reports suggest the possibility of a larger trackpad, as previously mentioned.
The new accessories are expected to be introduced in the first months of 2024, along with two new iPad Pros and two new iPad Airs. It appears that the new iPad Pro will mark the first redesign of the product since the current design was introduced in 2018.
The first-generation Pencil launched alongside the first-generation iPad Pro in 2015, while the Magic Keyboard with iPad integration (at first it was more of an iMac and Mac Pro accessory) was released. introduced later in 2020. The Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard were instrumental in expanding the capabilities of Apple's iPad and iPad Air devices.
