Meanwhile, another participant in the conversation unearthed the Patently Apple coverage earlier this year, showing how an Apple Pencil could be recharged while magnetically connected via a smart connector. It is also believed that the accessory will pair with devices by proximity instead of being connected to the charging port, as previously suggested in the code found in the beta versions of iOS 12.1. In terms of design, the digital pen is said to have a more minimalist look, and it's rumored to be ditching the silver rail on top. More details are expected to follow at Apple's next event on October 30.
