The new squeeze gesture for the next Apple Pencil will probably be used to quickly add stickers, shapes, signatures, or text. It would be added to the double-tap pencil on the Apple Pencil 3 instead of replacing it. And since a squeeze feature would require an Apple Pencil to have a pressure-sensitive area with a sensor to “feel” the squeeze, the lack of such tech on the Apple Pencil 2 indicates that the “squeeze” will not be backward compatible with older versions of the accessory.

Apple isn’t expected to have an elaborate press event to introduce the new tablets and the Apple Pencil 3. Instead, the company will issue a press release which it will publish on the tech giant’s Newsroom website. The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2024) models will be the first iPad tablets to use OLED displays. The use of OLED is expected to drive the price of the new iPad Pro (2024) tablets much higher, especially the 12.9-inch variant.
Not wanting to price its customers out of the large-screened tablet market, Apple decided to add a lower-priced 12.9-inch iPad Air model to the traditional 10.9-inch version. By adding the new tablet, Apple will offer consumers an iPad with a more affordable 12.9-inch LCD display.
