Apple's Surprise Announcement: New Apple Pencil Steals the Show

Conflicting rumors about Apple announcing new iPads or a new Apple Pencil were circulating, but in the end, Apple only announced a lower-cost Apple Pencil with a USB-C port. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman accurately predicted that there would be no new iPads released this month, while supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also accurately stated that new iPads were unlikely for the remainder of 2023. Other reports and leaks about new iPads turned out to be inaccurate.
