Japanese website Macotakara also revealed that the company is set to launch its Apple Pencil 3 soon.  

Notably, the second-generation Apple Pencil was launched back in 2018 and is available at Rs 11,900 on Apple Store online in India. This device attaches magnetically to 2018 and newer iPad Pro models, 2020 and newer iPad Air models and the latest iPad Mini.

In addition to that, Apple is expected to introduce a new chipset for iPad Air, iPad and iPad mini. It was revealed that the iPad Air will be powered by an M2 chipset and the Mini will be powered by an A16 Bionic chip that also powers iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models.
