– Hidden code references in the beta hint at a potential “V4” version of the Apple Pencil, sparking speculation about a fourth-generation release.
– The latest iOS 17.5 beta includes hidden code related to the Apple Pencil versions, with a notable mention of a potential fourth generation.
– Rumors suggest that the new Apple Pencil could debut alongside refreshed models of the iPad Pro and iPad Air expected to launch in May.
