Apple might be testing a new Apple Pencil for Vision Pro

Currently, Apple Vision Pro offers you several ways to enter text, such as using a virtual keyboard, talking to Siri, or connecting a Bluetooth keyboard. But there is a rumor going around that Apple might add Apple Pencil support to VisionProgiving you a new way to interact with visionOS.

It appears that Apple has internally tested a new Apple Pencil that supports visionOSaccording to a source close to the matter cited by MacRumors. This feature could allow users to enter text and draw in apps like Freeform and Pixelmator.

While no concrete details are available on this project, one potential scenario is that users could draw with the Apple Pencil on a flat surface like a desk, with their drawings appearing in the visionOS application. This concept would essentially transform the user's environment into a massive canvas.

Rumors suggest that a new Apple Pencil could debut alongside the upcoming iPad Pro and iPad Air models, although there is no confirmation yet on whether it will support visionOS. Apple should unveil visionOS 2.0 for Apple VisionPro at WWDC in June. There is also speculation that Apple may introduce Apple Pencil compatibility for Apple VisionPro via an earlier software update, possibly with visionOS 1.2.

However, you should take this information with a grain of salt, as nothing is certain until the company officially announces it.

Separately, Apple appears to be expanding the availability of its first XR headset to more markets. Recently, reports suggested that Tim Cook had confirmed China as the next launch region for the Vision Pro..
