Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard:
In addition to the new iPads, Apple also introduced new generations of pen and keyboard. The Apple Pencil Pro now supports touch-sensitive gestures that can assist with drawing or writing. It also offers a rotation option for quickly changing tools, haptic feedback when using it and integration into Apple's FindMy network. The Magic Keyboard has also received a few improvements. It is made of high-quality aluminum, has an additional 14 function keys like on MacBooks and can be charged via USB-C. There is also an improved keystroke and a more pleasant backlight.
