This year it seems we are going to have the third generation of Apple Pencil on the market, and Cupertino is preparing many new features with its products. And the company’s owner pencil will have a new gesture.

According to 9to5Mac, Within the source code of iPadOS 17.5 beta it is suggested that the gesture in question will be the “squeeze”. All this would be possible thanks to the addition of a pressure sensor on the surface of the Apple Pencil 3.

Apple Pencil 3 is also rumored to be compatible with new Apple products and services such as Apple Vision Pro and Apple Find My network. Recall that a previous leak also pointed to interchangeable magnetic tips on the new pencil.

What will the squeeze gesture be used for on the third generation Apple Pencil?

This gesture can be used to activate quick actions, such as text fields, stickers, signatures, and adding shapes in Notes and other creative applications.

Unfortunately, we do not know when this new 3rd generation Apple Pencil will arrive, but it would make a lot of sense for it to be presented along with the new iPad Pro and Air of this year 2024. Of these iPads, there is also no confirmed presentation date.
