As it is known, Apple received great criticism because the 10th Generation iPad model with USB-C port only supports the Lightning-equipped Apple Pencil. Now, the affordable Apple Pencil model, which is expected to be released this year, may have been cancelled. The new pen was expected to support both iPhone and iPad models.Apple may have shelved its plans
It’s unclear why Apple shelved its affordable Apple Pencil plans, but the decision was reportedly made at the last minute. To recall, recent leaks showed that the new Apple Pencil, codenamed “Marker”, would not have any pressure sensing technology or battery. Instead, the new pen would be powered by a special chip developed by Apple, similar to Samsung’s S-Pen.
It is also reported that Apple has produced more than 1 million copies for the new pen. We can say that this figure is quite surprising for a project to be canceled. No official statement has been shared for the affordable Apple Pencil from the technology giant yet. We’ll see if the rumors are true at the Apple event in September.
