  Apple says the Pencil will be "ideal for note taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more".

Meanwhile, this year we haven't seen any iPad launch. Although there was a rumour that Apple could launch the new iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad 11th gen this month, we believed it was unlikely. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg had said it won't happen this month while Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said it is not happening this year.
