Oh no , we have to spend hr and hours before the consequence conk over every footling pel of the graphic Apple the States , and dissect each and every syllable of the shred line . Hey , we ca n’t help ourselves ! We ’re fanboys … err , we’reenthusiasts .
In casing you ’ve been knocked out for a mo by a covid vaccine [ me lift my hand ] , here ’s some background .

No. 3 Pencil
You ’ve get word of and usednumber 2 pencils , but have you ever used a bit 3 pencil ? It uses backbreaking graphite that make lighter line and feels grindy when you write . Hopefully , the third generation of Apple Pencil wo n’t be like that .
iPad for the new Apple Pencil
If there ’s a newfangled Pencil , then there needs to be a raw iPad . While Apple released fresh consumer iPads last fall , the Pro card get a small-scale update in 2020 andwe thinkwe’ll see Pro updates on Tuesday .
iMacs: The color comeback
The rollout of Apple silicon has been successful , and we ’re anxiously look the next phase . But seemingly , you want more than a fast , effective system on a potato chip in the next iMac . You want to go beyond the opprobrious and gray outside . You want Apple to draw inspiration from theoriginal iMac .

One more thing
Before we leave you be ( there ’s a special sequence ofMythic Questwe ask to get to ! ) , one last matter . Last week , we use up a pate onyour pick for the next Apple CEO , and some of you take issue with “ Zombie Steve Jobs ” as one of the selection .
