What to Expect from Apple Pencil 3?

One of the most anticipated additions is the integration of the Find My feature, enabling users to locate their misplaced Apple Pencil similar to AirPods and AirTags.

New iPads on the Horizon

While the spotlight is on the Apple Pencil, the event is also expected to unveil new iPad models. The iPad Air 6 is rumoured to sport the M2 chip and, for the first time, a larger 12.9-inch display. On the other hand, the new iPad Pro is set to feature the advanced M3 chip, OLED displays, and a slimmer profile.

Moreover, Apple seems to be revamping the Magic Keyboard with a redesigned version that could give the iPad a more conventional laptop-like appearance, moving away from the current floating design.
