The technology world is about to witness an exciting development: Apple is planning to launch iPadOS 17.5, an update that will not only improve performance and security but also introduce new features for iPad users. One of the most notable new features generating buzz ahead of the official release is an innovative feature for the upcoming Apple Pencil 3, uncovered through meticulous research by 9to5Mac.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By examining the code in the beta version of iPadOS 17.5 in detail, 9to5Mac notes<\/a> discovered a previously unknown feature for the Apple Pencil - the "squeeze" gesture. This feature suggests that users could gain additional interaction options with their iPad by squeezing the pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPadOS 17.5: How it works and its potential<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The "squeeze" gesture allows you to quickly perform actions by simply pressing on the surface of the Apple Pencil 3. These could include inserting shapes, signatures, stickers or text boxes into documents and notes. Compared to the previous model, the Apple Pencil 2, which only supports the double-tap gesture, this innovation represents a significant expansion of functionality. The Apple Pencil 2 has no pressure sensors on the surface, which makes the "squeeze" gesture an exclusive feature of the new model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discovery of this feature coincides with rumors of the upcoming launch of new iPad models, including an updated iPad Pro and iPad Air. The integration of such a gesture into the Apple Pencil 3 hints at a deeper fusion of hardware and software that will further improve the user experience on the iPads. Particularly interesting is the update to the pairing interface for the Apple Pencil, which now includes support for previously non-existent hardware, as well as the introduction of the new version of the PencilKit API in iPadOS 17.4, which gives developers more options for making their apps compatible with the Apple Pencil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
