New Apple Pencil May Work with Vision Pro: Source

Apple’s Vision Pro made headlines after its launch owing to its next-gen capabilities. However, the Silicon Valley giant isn’t finished yet, as it is working on a new Apple Pencil that could work with Vision Pro, according to an unnamed source. It is rumored to be launched alongside the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models in the following few weeks, which could prove to be interesting.

It’s not clear exactly how the stylus would perform with the Vision Pro. However, the safest assumption is perhaps that users would be able to draw with it on some kind of flat surface or even in the air and that would automatically appear in VisionOS on the Vision Pro. Therefore, you would be able to turn your surroundings into the pencil’s canvas with pressure and tilt sensitivity.

However, keep in mind that this is all based on rumors and source claims that Apple has internally tested a stylus with VisionOS support and that the Apple pencil would be usable with drawing apps such as Freeform, etc.

In such a scenario, the Vision Pro will require a software update to add support for the upcoming Apple Pencil, and the company is anticipated to make the first visionOS 1.2 beta available to developers this week. If it does, then netizens will surely go digging through the code to find any references to the new Apple Pencil.
