Case makers are hoping for a smaller Apple Pencil for the upcoming 11 iPhones. A new rumor has just emerged regarding the next iPhones coming out in three weeks. We did know that they would probably be compatible with Apple Pencil. The news today is that It seems that there will be a new Apple Pencil of smaller size (something logical) than the current one to use with mobile phones.
The mobile cover shop Mobile Fun has put on sale today a new cover that has set off alarms: an «iPhone 11 Pro» case Signature Olixar with a small compartment to store the Apple Pencil. The case maker seems to know that Apple will release a new, smaller version of the Apple Pencil that will work with at least the successor to the 6,5-inch iPhone XS Max.
The image shown is not real, therefore, we do not know if such a cover is actually being manufactured already. But it is clear that if Olixar has planned its manufacture, it is because it must know exactly the measurements of this supposed new Apple pencil.
The case description reads: “Crafted from premium genuine leather, this exquisite Olixar gray case for the iPhone 11 Pro offers impressive style and prestigious protection for your phone, in a slim and elegant package with the convenience of additional Apple Pencil sleeve ».
It clearly specifies that it is for iPhone 11, and the accommodation for Apple Pencil. The company's current pencil is obviously too big.
For now we must put the rumor in quarantineSince if Apple were really developing a new, smaller Pencil for the 2019 iPhone, by now we should have read more leaks on the subject, and this is the first.
Citi Research listed the Apple Pencil as a prospective feature for new devices. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo commented in 2018 on the possibility of future iPhones being compatible with the stylus, but has not said anything more this year.
At the moment, it is the only thing we know. We will see if Olixar has thrown himself into the pool, or they are really making them knowing that this new mini Apple Pencil will exist.
We will leave doubts on September 10 at seven in the afternoon….
