There is a reference to an unreleased “Apple Pencil Pro”. spotted in the source code for Apple’s homepage in Japan. We’ve independently confirmed that the code exists, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Apple removed it once it was discovered.
This discovery suggests that the Apple Pencil Pro could be announced at Apple’s event tomorrow. However, given that the code doesn’t appear on Apple’s home page in the US or other countries, it’s possible that the Japanese website made a translation error.
Computer translation of the source code:
Folded green, yellow, orange and blue paper forms the Apple logo. Inside the logo, you can see the creator’s hand holding the Apple Pencil Pro and drawing.
Regardless of whether the name Apple Pencil Pro is used, a new Apple Pencil is expected to be announced at Apple’s event. Rumors include a new squeeze gesture and haptic feedback, while Vision Pro support is also possible from visionOS 2.
The Apple Pencil Pro is likely to replace the second-generation Apple Pencil released in 2018. Other models available include the Apple Pencil with USB-C and the original Apple Pencil from 2015, which is expected to be discontinued after Apple stops selling the ninth iPad generation with Lightning connector.
Other products expected to be announced at Apple’s event include two new iPad Pro models with Apple’s next-generation M4 chip, a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air that goes alongside an updated 10.9-inch model , and a redesigned Magic Keyboard for iPad.
