Apple is working on exciting ideas that could be incorporated into the 3rd generation Apple Pencil!
Currently, there are hundreds of options for finding specific colors and copying them onto a screen without knowing the code that makes it up. And that’s already a great solution. But a new patent from Apple shows that Cupertino wants to go much further, and select color swatches directly from the real world, with Apple Pencil
According to information shared by Patently Apple, the concept raises copy real world colors and enter the same color on an iPadas well as other features, including the ability to sample textures. According to the document, this this would be possible thanks to color sensors integrated into the tip of the pen which can sample the surface of objects in the real world and detect its color.
Big changes for the Apple Pencil 3
The images that give an idea of how this innovation works show a future Apple Pencil with an integrated ambient light sensor, light emitter and light detector which can detect the color and texture of a surface.

This is what the Apple Pencil would look like with sensors to detect colors
Although when it comes to patents, you never know when one of them might materialize, in this case and after so many innovations to detect texts, people, shapes and places introduced by Apple in recent years, honestly, it seems quite likely. And maybe It could even be the big novelty of a third generation Apple Pencil.
The second-generation Apple Pencil was announced in 2018, with no clear indication of when a third-generation model might debut. However, other patents have shown that the company really wants to bring a radical change to the famous accessory.
Previous documents revealed that Apple was working on ideas to take advantage of this accessory much more, such as an Apple Pencil-compatible Mac. While other tests advertise an Apple Pencil with multiple touch sensors, capable of detecting swipe and swipe gestures.
The Apple Pencil has been a huge hit since its release as it has added precision and convenience to those who wanted to use their iPad for more creative tasks like illustration or graphic design. But time has passed and the current model is almost five years old since its debut in November 2018, which makes us think of a commemorative event so hard to forget, like its launch.
