Apple Pencil Unveiled: No iPad Launch Today, But Affordable Option Now Available
Apple has disappointed fans who were eagerly anticipating the launch of iPads, as they only introduced the Apple Pencil instead. The Apple Pencil aims to improve productivity and creativity by enabling tasks such as note-taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more. One of its standout features is its compatibility with all iPad models equipped with a USB-C port, making it highly versatile.

The pen has a matte surface and a flat side that magnetically attaches to the iPad for storage. The sliding cap reveals a USB-C port that allows users to connect to the new Apple Pencil with a USB-C cable for pairing and charging. When the new Apple Pencil is magnetically attached to the iPad for storage, it goes into sleep mode to preserve battery life.
What Apple Pencil does
The new Apple Pencil works with iPadOS features like Scribble, Quick Note, and more for free-form collaboration. When used with the M2 models of iPad Pro, the new Apple Pencil supports the hover function, allowing users to sketch and draw with greater precision.
The new Apple Pencil is ideal for iPad (10th generation) users and also works with all iPad models with a USB-C port, including iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad mini.
The Apple Pencil is available for purchase separately and is priced at Rs. 7900. However, it is not available immediately. Apple says you can get it starting in early November.
The Apple Pencil will be launched just a few weeks after the release of the iPhone 15 series (iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max) at the Apple Wanderlust event on September 12, 2023. Apple may not be able to make releases for this year , as iPads and Macs may well be on the agenda in the coming days or weeks.
