At the presentation on May 7, along with the new iPad Air and Pro tablets, Apple also introduced an all-new Pencil and a redesigned Magic Keyboard case for the iPad Pro, according to Apple's YouTube channel.
Apple Pencil Pro
The device retains all the basic functions of its predecessors but adds several new features. For example, it is now equipped with a compression sensor, which allows the user to open the tool menu in the Procreate app or move icons on the desktop by simply squeezing the pencil in their hand.
This feature is customizable for different tasks and provides haptic feedback.
