Apple Pencil Pro to debut today with enhanced features
An X user with the handle @ribuap712 has discovered a reference to "Apple Pencil Pro" in the coding of Apple's Japanese website. This finding, reported by MacRumors, suggests a potential new product reveal at today's iPad event. The term was found within alternate text describing an animated image for the Apple event. The all-new Pencil is also expected to feature haptic feedback for the first time
Animated image description reveals 'Apple Pencil Pro'
The translated text of the alternate image description on Apple's Japanese website reads: Green, yellow, orange, and blue paper are folded to form the Apple logo. Inside the logo, a creator's hand is seen holding an Apple Pencil Pro, preparing to draw. The description continues with vivid imagery of color splashes and swirling droplets as the creator manipulates the Apple Pencil Pro.
Inconsistency in alternate text sparks theories
Interestingly, the alternate text for other regions such as the US features a standard Apple Pencil, not an 'Apple Pencil Pro.' This discrepancy has led to speculation that it could be due to an error or miscommunication. However, a new-generation stylus is expected from Apple. It will feature haptic feedback to adjust the feel of the stylus based on the tool selected. The innovative Pencil will also support 'squeeze' gesture that summons a contextual menu based on the app.
