Apple is expected to release something big this year together with the improvements it has on its iPad and iPad Pro devices. Fans are anticipating for the Apple Pencil to come out this 2017 and fortunately, there are several indications that it will launch before the end of March.

The Apple Pencil is iPad Pro's digital stylus pen and is one of the device's "key value add." Aside from the obvious function, its main responsibility is to promote the hardware as a recommended platform for the creatives such as the frequency of the author's use in adding new content. Moreover, Apple Pencil will help keep the brand to become significant with the "pen-based computing" groups.

Apple Pencil may come off unique and functional, however, it will always be compared to the first styli -- Samsung's S-Pen and Microsoft's Surface Pen. Its competitors are considered to be more useful as it has more features for the user's convenience. Each digital pens have their extra buttons located on the barrel for call up functions and "modifiers" for on-screen actions and menu options. Meanwhile, there's a big possibility for Apple to not consider the extra buttons as it has always favored minimalism. Therefore, it might take more of the basic approach.(via Forbes)

The changes may occur on the Apple Pencil are likely to concentrate more on its charging and internal hardware such as allowing the device to be stored and held in the new iPad tablets with the help of magnets. Although the upcoming Apple Pencil cannot be used by every iPad owners, as it is intended only with the recent iPad Pro tablet and the possible new 10-inch iPad Pro, the digital stylus is a powerful representation of what the Apple is and its plans for its users.
