Next-generation iPad Pro to be compatible with Apple Pencil 3 with haptic feedback

A new report from Bloomberg claims that Apple will unveil its new iPad Pro lineup on May 7. It will reportedly feature a new type of OLED panel, the M4 chip, and a new Apple Pencil stylus. The company's new stylus could be named the Apple Pencil 3, and it will reportedly feature haptic feedback, squeeze detection, and Find My support.
