Apple Pencil Pro appears on Japanese website ahead of ‘Let Loose’ event

Apple Pencil Pro could be the name of the company’s next-generation wireless stylus pen accessory, which is expected to debut at Apple’s upcoming launch event. The iPhone maker is expected to launch new iPad Air and iPad Pro models at its ‘Let Loose’ launch event along with the new Apple Pencil, which could be the first model of its kind to sport the ‘Pro’ moniker. Last October, the company launched an improved Apple Pencil, which swapped out the proprietary Lightning connector for a USB Type-C port.

X (formerly Twitter) user Neural (@rsuOvO) revealed On the Gizmodo Discord Server (Via @ribu_ap712) that the text “Apple Pencil Pro” was seen on the company’s Japanese website, as well as in the alternative text for GIFs on the site – Alt by accessibility software for visually impaired users to read media descriptions. Text is used. , Gadgets 360 reviewed the website’s source code and found six examples of the rumored nickname.

It’s worth noting that none of Apple’s other websites – including the Apple India site – mention the Apple Pencil Pro in the source code. While this may ultimately be the name of Apple’s next-generation wireless stylus accessory, its inclusion may also be a mistake by an Apple employee.

This isn’t the first hint from the company at the arrival of a new Apple Pencil model – the company’s website in several countries now lets you place your mouse cursor over the Apple logo, then move it around to erase it. By doing this the deleted logo will be replaced with five other logos.

Previous reports suggest that the upcoming Apple Pencil will come with support for a new squeeze gesture with iPadOS 17.5, meaning users can apply some pressure to the stylus to erase content on their iPad. According to a report, the next-generation Apple Pencil model may also work with the upcoming version of VisionOS.
