The upgraded Apple Pencil may launch alongside the rumoured iPad Pro (2021) models. A Apple Pencil may have a glossy finish and a detachable nib. An Apple patent in the past also suggested that the company could bring a major new feature to the Apple Pencil through the ability of changeable tips. This hints that the stylus may a tip module with paint, ink, or even graphite in the future.
