Apple has been selling the second-generation Apple Pencil with its iPad Pros since 2018. The iPad Pro lineup is now three generations ahead, but Apple is still shipping the same stylus. While there have been rumors of a new Pencil in the past, none of them have come to fruition. 

However, according to a new rumor from prolific tipster Majin Bu, Apple is finally working on a third-generation Apple Pencil with interchangeable magnetic tips. This would be a significant upgrade over the current Apple Pencil, which only has a single replaceable nib.

The interchangeable tips would allow users to customize the Apple Pencil for different uses, such as drawing, technical drawing, and painting.  It would also make it easier to replace the tip if it becomes worn or damaged. 

Majin Bu shared the details about the third-gen Apple Pencil via a tweet which also shows three examples of what these tips might look like, with different thicknesses and tip size. 

Apple secured a patent in 2021 for interchangeable nibs, so it’s possible that this rumor is true. We also know that Apple is working on new iPad models for next year, so it’s likely that the Apple Pencil 3 will be released alongside them.

In addition to the interchangeable tips, the Apple Pencil 3 is also rumored to have more precision and greater battery life. These are two features that users have been asking for for a long time, so it would be great to see them implemented in the next-generation Apple Pencil.

The rumors about the Apple Pencil 3 seem quite interesting. If they turn out to be true, it would be a significant upgrade over the current Apple Pencil and would make it even more versatile and useful for users.
