The discovery of a code reference within Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) latest operating version, iOS 17.1 Beta 2, has raised questions about the potential development of an Apple Pencil 3 featuring USB-C charging support.
What Happened: The 10.9-inch iPad, released in October last year, had posed a challenge regarding Apple Pencil compatibility. Due to design constraints, it couldn’t support the magnetic second-generation Apple Pencil, leading to the use of dongles for users who wanted to employ the original Apple Pencil with USB-C iPads.
Within the iOS 17.1 Beta 2 code, a reference to an Apple Pencil 3 with USB-C charging capabilities was uncovered by Steve Moser. This revelation has ignited speculation about Apple’s plans for its next-generation stylus.
