Apple Event on May 7 Has Six Artistic Logos as Tim Cook Hints at New Apple Pencil

[MacRumors]

Apple is promoting its upcoming "Let loose" event using six artistic logos amid the expectation that a new Apple Pencil is to be announced.

The six different logos cycle through randomly upon refreshing Apple's homepage. In 2018, Apple promoted its "There's more in the making" event that saw the introduction of the radically redesigned iPad Pro and second-generation Apple Pencil using more than 350 one-of-a-kind Apple logos.

The artistic logos likely allude to the illustration and graphic design capabilities of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, both of which are expected to receive a substantial hardware refresh at the event. The main artwork being used to promote the event features the Apple Pencil and Apple CEO Tim Cook today hinted at the importance of the accessory to the event in a new post on X (formerly Twitter):

Two new iPad Air models and a redesigned Magic Keyboard accessory are also expected to be unveiled at the event.

The May 7 Apple event will take place at 7 a.m. Pacific Time (10 a.m. Eastern Time), with a live stream to be available on apple.com and on YouTube. The event invitation did not mention an in-person component, with Apple inviting the media to watch online alongside the general public.

The first logo looks like a microbial culture, the other ones are really nice, the blue one is my favorite.

The only reason it doesn't is Apple wants artists to buy a Mac and an iPad.

What if the Pencil worked with A.I. to make all your drawings all look like Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci drew them... 🤔

ipad doesnt have a keyboard, so is far more stable when drawing...Mac, you dont have the accuracy for professional drawing. I lean more towards an ipad with macOS or far better ipadOS with pro apps then mac as an drawing tool

Great, and it’ll only cost you $150 this time.

As I wrote in a comment in the other thread about this event, it's possible Apple is putting light sensors into the Pencil to allow color picking from the environment.

They've had some ideas in this area for years: https://www.patentlyapple.com/2021/...to-provide-more-accurate-color-selecting.html

There could be a Mac like a Wacom Cintiq or Microsoft Surface Studio. A standard clamshell MacBook or iMac, I agree - wouldn't work well with pen.

 

[satchmo]

Hopefully a bit more grip to the Pencil. Current one is slippery AF.

 

[Le0M]

Apple should create an Apple Pencil to work with Apple Vision Pro, to allow drawing and painting on any surface, with potentially limitless work-space.

Finally..
What everyone wants!

A new pencil


oh wait..

I have a maxed out m2 iPad, I think the only thing that could entice me to upgrade is a bigger screen.

Pencil for iPad as there is more room and artists have been using on WACOM for quite some time. It would be seen as just a stylus on the phone which goes against all Jobs originally pushes against.

I maxed out my M1 and almost feel the same. Guess we will see. Not much I do on the iPad that really pushes the processor, but will most likely be tempted to bring it current.

 

[OnePieceIsReal]

Better work on my m1 iPad Pro 12.9 because I’m not buying another iPad til this one fully breaks

 

[Kevrani]

What are the chances the new pencil will be compatible with the current iPad line up...? Not holding my breath

 

[lenningj]

let loose your purse strings, they're about to be emptied

This percent...

AirPods Max 2?!

Some of these are nice, but that upper-left one looks more like old AI generated art than anything else, the kind with weird circles and eyes in strange places. 😨
