Rumours about Apple's new product launch plans for this week have been swirling, with some reports suggesting that new iPad models will be announced, while others claim that the Apple Pencil 3 will be the star of the show.
According to some fresh news reports, like one from MacOTAKARA, Apple might surprise us with the Apple Pencil 3 release date instead of new iPads. The coolest thing? This new pencil might have tips you can swap out. These magnetic tips are perfect for people who draw, design, or paint, allowing them to switch tips depending on the project they're working on.
Why is this big news? Well, it’s been about five years since Apple brought out the Apple Pencil 2. So, it’s about time for an Apple Pencil 3 upgrade. The older pencil had only one kind of tip, but you could buy others. What’s not changing, though, is the kind of charger it uses – it probably won’t switch to the USB-C like some other Apple gadgets.
But wait, what about those new iPads? Another report says Apple is still going to talk about something related to iPads. It's all a bit mysterious right now, but it might be connected to the new Pencil.
There’s also talk that three new iPads are getting some new brainpower with better processors. The basic model might get a new A14 Bionic chipset, making it faster. The iPad Air could come in two different types, but we’re not sure what the difference will be. Maybe screen size or some other feature? The smallest one, the iPad Mini, should work better, too, but it will probably look the same.
The big question is, when is all this happening? The rumours say it could be as soon as today, October 17. But don’t expect a big show. Apple might just tell us about it online, with a post on their blog, a press statement, or a new listing on their store site.
So, what's coming: the Apple Pencil 3 or brand-new iPads? We’ll have to wait and see. Whether it’s swappable tips for the Pencil or fancy upgrades for the iPads, Apple fans have something cool to look forward to. Whichever it is, people can’t wait to get a peek at Apple's latest piece of tech magic.
