According to the company, two new Apple Pencil models are in development and will be released alongside the next-generation iPad Pro models next year. BloombergThis is Mark Gurman.
Specifically, he said new versions of the lower-end Apple Pencil with a USB-C port and the higher-end Apple Pencil Pro are in development.
Apple is working to meet upcoming EU requirements to make batteries replaceable, prompting Gurman to believe that new Apple Pencil models could feature “new battery systems.” While this wording is vague, it seems to suggest that future Apple Pencil models may have replaceable batteries.
No other details were provided, so we’re not aware of any potential design changes or other new features planned at this time.
The current Apple Pencil with USB-C port was released in November 2023, with the Apple Pencil Pro following in May 2024.
