Apple Pencil 3: Advanced Features In The Works

Apple currently has the patent that could be a feature for the next Apple Pencil 3. It involves a magnet technology for a more physical feel with the device. Overall, the industry has yet to include this feature on any stylus pen device currently out in the market.

According to Apple’s patent on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the company has a technology on a “Stylus with external magnetic influence.” Through this magnetic technology, the device could make a force on its own which provides an artificial weight on the device. Creative types who want to have a heavier tool for drawing could enjoy this feature to make a particularly different stroke to the device.

The technology works with the device’s stylus tip which allows the magnetic technology to adapt on how it’s being used. The whole magnetic technology allows the stylus pen to vibrate as it’s being used on a surface which adds the feeling of weight with the device. So far, the Apple Pencil’s small size offers not much resistance when used.

The device’s use of magnetic forces also allows the device to interact with the haptic technology. Most Stylus pens often have to be used on tablet screens to write or draw according to the user’s wishes.

However, Apple is known to pass many patents like this. Most of these patents are not always put on development to become an actual product. Fans will have to wait on Apple’s official announcement to know more details about the next Apple Pencil 3 details.

As of now, Apple is currently working on adding more features to all of its Apple devices to improve them further and even make them independent from each other. While more individual features are being pushed out for devices such as the Apple Watch, iPhone, Mac,and iPad, the company is still open adding features that compliment each Apple device when together.

Potentially, the Apple Pencil 3 may extend beyond its paired features with the iPad. Currently, the Apple Pencil is known for its magnetic features which allows it attach on the Apple tablet and also charge itself when left attached and idle.
