18, 2017 11:44 am PST by <a class="author-url" href="http://www.macrumors.com/author/juli-clover/">Juli Clover</a></div> <div class="content">Apple may be planning to introduce a second-generation <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pencil/">Apple Pencil</a> this year, according to <a href="http://www.feng.com/iPhone/news/2017-01-14/News-that-Apple-will-push-this-year-of-the-second-generation-Apple-Pencil_667445.shtml">rumors</a> out of the Asian supply chain. The new Apple Pencil could be unveiled at an event rumored to take place in March, where it would be shown off along with the next-generation <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/">iPad Pro</a>. <br> <br> Prospective features for a second-generation Apple Pencil aren't known, but a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/29/new-ipad-faster-display-wider-apple-pencil-support/">previous report</a> from <em>Bloomberg</em> has suggested Apple is considering new iPad capabilities that would let the Apple Pencil to work in a larger range of apps, which could be introduced alongside the new accessory. <br> <br> <img src="http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2015/11/ipad-pro-apple-pencil-screen-800x471.jpg" alt="ipad-pro-apple-pencil-screen" width="800" height="471" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-474403"> <br> There's also been some speculation that Apple could build in functionality outlined in several <a href="http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2017/01/an-apple-pencil-patent-describes-a-3d-antenna-and-magent-for-attaching-to-external-objects.html">patents</a>, including new antenna technology and a magnet that would allow the Apple Pencil to attach to an iPad's body when not in use. <br> <br> While we don't yet have any concrete detail on what could potentially be included in a second-generation Apple Pencil, given the major changes expected to be introduced to the iPad Pro lineup, it makes some sense for Apple to unveil an updated pencil accessory. <br> <br> Rumors suggest Apple will introduce a <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/15/kuo-10-5-ipad-pro-2017/">new iPad Pro model</a> somewhere around 10 inches with an almost bezel-free design. Though the rumored iPad will use a larger 10-inch+ display, it's said to be the same size as the existing 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Features like <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/touch-id/">Touch ID</a> would reportedly be built into the display, much like the rumored <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/">iPhone 8</a>, and it is expected to include improved display technology and an upgraded A10X processor.<br><br><div class="linkback">Related Roundup: <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/">iPad Pro</a> <br>Tags: <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/feng-com/">feng.com</a>, <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pencil/">Apple Pencil</a> <br>Buyer's Guide: <a href="http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#12-9-iPad-Pro">12.9" iPad Pro (Caution)</a> </div></div> <div class="footer"> <div class="comments">[ <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-pencil-2-march-2017.2028236/">85 comments</a> ]</div> <div class="social"> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macrumors.com%2F2017%2F01%2F18%2Fapple-pencil-2-march-2017%2F&text=Second-Generation+Apple+Pencil+Rumored+for+March+of+2017&related=macrumors" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img class="t-share"></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macrumors.com%2F2017%2F01%2F18%2Fapple-pencil-2-march-2017%2F&src=sdkpreparse" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img class="fb-share"></a></li> <li><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macrumors.com%2F2017%2F01%2F18%2Fapple-pencil-2-march-2017%2F" rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.href,'', 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');return false;"><img class="g-share"></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="contentAd"><div class="ad-left"> <div data-ns="rectangle"></div> </div> <div class="ad-right"> <ins class="adsbygoogle front-under-extra-responsive" style="display:inline-block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-2224409576101196" data-ad-slot="3333614836"></ins> </div> </div> <div id="commentsContainer"> <div id="comments"> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-2224409576101196" data-ad-slot="3033068832" data-ad-format="autorelaxed"></ins> <br><br> <h2>Top Rated Comments</h2> <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2028236" class="view_all">(View all)</a> <p class="clear_left"></p> <div class="comment first"> <div class="avatar"> <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com//members/759110"> <img src="http://cdn.macrumors.com/images-new/avatar-unk.png" width="75" height="75" alt="Avatar"> </a> </div> <div class="comment_content"> <div class="username"><a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/posts/24208508">jyen</a></div> <div class="date">3 hours ago at 11:46 am</div> <div class="content">Let me guess... thinner, shorter battery life, price bump, now available in jet black.</div> <div class="rating"><strong>Rating:</strong> 16 Votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="comment first"> <div class="avatar"> <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com//members/1033229"> <img src="http://cdn.macrumors.com/images-new/avatar-unk.png" width="75" height="75" alt="Avatar"> </a> </div> <div class="comment_content"> <div class="username"><a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/posts/24208525">Appleaker</a></div> <div class="date">3 hours ago at 11:49 am</div> <div class="content">Hopefully becoming more like the Surface Pen in many ways.<br> And they need to get rid of the current charging... it should charge wirelessly from the side of the iPad and the battery life should be longer.
