    Apple and Samsung have been neck and neck with their respective styli offerings, with both featuring comfortable grip, tilt sensitivity, pressure sensitivity, and magnetic charging. It appears that Apple has set its sights on taking the Apple Pencil a couple of notches higher by adding a few additional features.

    Next-generation iPad Pro to be compatible with Apple Pencil 3 with haptic feedback

    A new report from Bloomberg claims that Apple will unveil its new iPad Pro lineup on May 7. It will reportedly feature a new type of OLED panel, the M4 chip, and a new Apple Pencil stylus. The company's new stylus could be named the Apple Pencil 3, and it will reportedly feature haptic feedback, squeeze detection, and Find My support.

    Haptic feedback (vibration) will help offer a more realistic drawing and writing experience. It could also offer a different feel using different pencil models, like a digital paintbrush, pen, and crayon. This feature isn't available on the S Pen yet. The squeeze detection feature could open up many possibilities, including changing pen modes or other drawing and writing-related settings without having to open a separate menu on the screen. Moreover, Find My support will make finding a lost Apple Pencil easier.

    Some rumors also claim that the upcoming Apple Pencil could have interchangeable tips, with different tips for specific use cases. Hopefully, this will force Samsung to up its game, as the company hasn't added any major features to the S Pen and Samsung Notes over the past few years.

    The Galaxy Tab S10 series could debut later this year or early next year. Some rumors claim it will improve S Pen features and performance, including improved latency. It could also bring Gorilla Glass Armor for higher reflection resistance and
