The refreshed logo initially appears as a simple line-art sketch, reminiscent of an artist's preliminary drawing. It then bursts into full color as an animated hand with an Apple Pencil sweeps into the frame, bringing vibrant life to the design. However, the real surprise is the logo’s new interactive element: users can now use a cursor—or potentially the next-generation Apple Pencil—to "erase" the logo on their screen.
Although the logo only partially erases before transitioning to the next image in its sequence, this novel feature hints at the potential capabilities of a new Apple Pencil. Rumors suggest that this updated stylus will replace the current high-end, second-generation Apple Pencil introduced back in 2018. Insights from the recent iPadOS 17.5 developer beta further fuel speculation, revealing code that supports new gesture controls, including a squeezing interaction with the Pencil.
The third-generation Apple Pencil is expected to succeed its predecessors, including the first-generation model, which remains compatible with older iPads. In 2023, Apple also unveiled a more affordable Apple Pencil (USB-C), similar in design to the second-generation but lacking pressure sensitivity and opting for USB-C charging instead of wireless.
Apple's "Let Loose" event promises to be an exciting showcase of the company’s latest innovations. It will be streamed live, engaging audiences worldwide at 7:00 AM Pacific and 10:00 AM Eastern. As Apple continues to push the boundaries of technology and creativity, the tech community eagerly anticipates what other surprises may be revealed.
