Apple Announces New Lower-Cost Apple Pencil, No New iPads Yet Despite Conflicting Rumors

Rumors about new iPads and Apple Pencil were conflicting leading up to the announcement. Only a lower-cost Apple Pencil with USB-C was announced.

Bloomberg and Ming-Chi Kuo accurately predicted no new iPads this month. Japanese blog Mac Otakara accurately predicted a new Apple Pencil over iPads.

Supercharged, 9to5Mac, and leaker "Majin Bu" inaccurately reported new iPads would be announced.

The new Apple Pencil has USB-C charging, but lacks interchangeable magnetic tips as rumored.

Multiple sources point to new iPads still being in the works for future release.
