Apple has unveiled the new Apple Pencil USB-C. As rumors had already hinted, this new stylus makes its debut through a press release. The new Pencil, designed to provide more options and value to Apple’s product lineup, comes with features that promise to revolutionize, once again, the user experience with the iPad.
A pencil that is in balance with existing versions
The Apple Pencil with USB-C maintains pixel-perfect precision, low latency, and tilt sensitivity that has characterized its predecessors, but at a more affordable price. An ideal tool for taking notes, sketching, annotating, and even illustrating. Its design, with a matte finish and a flat side that magnetically attaches to the iPad, is elegant and functional, allowing not only a better grip but also more practical storage.
Storage, not charging, as one of the main novelties is its charging and pairing system through a USB-C cable, which means it is compatible with all iPad models that have this type of port.
It offers the same precision and low latency that one would expect from the models we already know. Furthermore, when used with the M2 models of iPad Pro, the Apple Pencil 3 supports the “hover” function, allowing drawing and illustrating with even greater precision.
The Apple Pencil family has grown, and now we can choose from three options according to our needs. The USB-C Apple Pencil, the most affordable model, will be available at a price of $79 in early November. Alternatively, we can consider the first-generation Apple Pencil for $99 and the second-generation Apple Pencil for $129.
Apple continues redefining the tools it puts in our hands. The new Apple Pencil with USB-C, with its optimized design and increased versatility, promises to be an essential tool for those of us seeking to maximize our experience with the iPad. With the blend of precision, usability, and design, Apple once again shows us what we will be capable of doing with our devices.
