What's Cooking with Cook?

In a recent social media post, Cook teased the upcoming event with an image featuring the Apple Pencil and the caption, "Pencil us in for May 7!" This playful hint, combined with the pencil emoji, strongly suggests that a new Apple Pencil is on the horizon, reported9to5mac.

What to Expect from Apple Pencil 3?

The last significant update to the Apple Pencil was in 2018, introducing a sleek matte design, enhanced grip, and magnetic charging. This time around, rumours suggest exciting new features. 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. Additionally, there are whispers about interchangeable magnetic tips and a possible "Squeeze" gesture for quick actions.

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.
