Apple could upgrade the Pencil

Apple is likely to upgrade the Pencil and a patent filing outlines some features that we could see added in the future.

While the Apple Pencil is quite new, there are some improvements that Apple could implement for a new version. A patent filing uncovers some features that didn’t make their way into the Apple Pencil, which leaves some wiggle room for future additions.

The patent mentions features like removable tips that would allow users to replace the pencil end with brushes or felt tip pens. Not only would these look and feel different, but they could enable different interactions depending on the tip you’re using.
