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

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.

Haptic feedback (vibration) will help offer a more realistic drawing and writing experience. It could also offer a different feel using different pencil models, like a digital paintbrush, pen, and crayon. This feature isn't available on the S Pen yet. The squeeze detection feature could open up many possibilities, including changing pen modes or other drawing and writing-related settings without having to open a separate menu on the screen. Moreover, Find My support will make finding a lost Apple Pencil easier.
