At its “Let Loose” event on Tuesday, Apple unveiled new accessories for its latest iPads. The $129 Pencil Pro and a new Magic Keyboard starting at $299 are now available for preorder and will be launching next week.
The Pencil Pro is described as a “game changer” for users to express creativity, with features like a new sensor on the barrel that users can squeeze to bring up a tool palette with line weights and colors. It is designed to work seamlessly with the new iPad models, allowing artists using graphic-design software to utilize shortcuts to brushes, change image size, and introduce color with ease. The Pencil Pro also pairs, charges, and is stored on the side of the iPad Pro using a magnet, ensuring it is always conveniently located.
In addition to the Pencil Pro, Apple also introduced the redesigned Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro at the event. This thinner and lighter keyboard features a bigger trackpad, function row, and comes in black and white color options. The Magic Keyboard is available for the 11-inch Pro for $299 and the 13-inch Pro for $349, providing a familiar MacBook-like experience for users.
