According to reports, Apple is currently in the process of testing a new iteration of the Apple Pencil that is said to be compatible with the Vision Pro headset. This updated stylus is rumored to allow users to draw within apps like Freeform.

MacRumors has reported that sources have indicated Apple is working on testing the revised Apple Pencil with support for visionOS. While specific details are still scarce, it is speculated that users may be able to utilize the stylus on a flat surface such as a table or desk.

The sketches created using the Apple Pencil would then supposedly be visible within the virtual space of the mixed reality glasses. Earlier announcements from Apple hinted at the development of a new version of the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, though it remains uncertain if this includes the stylus with Vision Pro support. 

Additionally, there are expectations for the release of two iPad Pro models featuring OLED screens this month. In March, Apple had unveiled the M3 variants of the MacBook Air in 13" and 15" sizes.
