Apple Might Bring Back the Glossy Finish With the Apple Pencil 3
As mentioned earlier, Apple might announce a new glossy Apple Pencil 3 alongside the new iPad models. The details were shared by the user name ileakeer who posted the video of the accessory on Twitter. Take note that the leaker does not have any previous records but claims that the video is obtained directly from Apple’s supply chain. Upon inspection, the Apple Pencil 3 looks pretty familiar to the second-generation Apple Pencil. However, there is one key difference – it appears to be glossy.

Other than the finish, details on the Apple Pencil 3 are scarce. Potentially, the upcoming Apple Pencil will be charged via the second-generation magnetic charging.
