The Apple Pencil 3 could give creative professionals a new reason to replace their existing stylus, thanks to a new rumor doing the rounds, claiming that the upcoming accessory could have interchangeable tips that snap on and off magnetically to make it easier to swap. One tipster says that this change will allow users to engage in multiple tasks while carrying a single pen unit with them.
Tipster says this new change will allow the Apple Pencil 3 to assist in ‘drawing, technical drawing and painting’
The first and second-generation Apple Pencil do not allow you to magnetically swap their tips, but in case their nibs wear to the point that they are no longer usable, they can be replaced. Unfortunately, they only have a certain level of functionality, which is a limitation that can be overcome if the Apple Pencil 3 rumor ends up being true. Majin Bu has stated on X that his ‘source’ has informed him of this change, giving it potentially more functionality than past iterations.
The post below states that the various tips for the Apple Pencil 3 will be used for ‘drawing, technical drawing and painting.’ The post also provides an image showing three different-sized tips with various thicknesses that could be attached magnetically to the Apple Pencil 3. The rumor does not mention if these tips will be bundled with the new accessory or if they need to be purchased separately. Knowing Apple and its business practices, we have a feeling that the newer version will only feature one tip in the box, with customers being forced to purchase the rest.

As for compatibility, the Apple Pencil 3 could work with all iPad models with pen support, thereby opening up many creative possibilities for users who do not wish to spend extra on the iPad Pro lineup. Unfortunately, the tipster has not provided a launch date, but with the new OLED iPad models expected to be unveiled next year, the new accessory could also be seen then.
