You never have a pen to hand when you need one, right? The second generation Apple Pencil helped ease this annoyance by including a magnetic charging connection to your iPad, but it’s still all too easy to lose Apple’s stylus.
A next-generation Apple Pencil 3 device might have a solution for this, however. A newly uncovered patent describes how Apple may have found a way to include Find My functionality into its digital pen. But rather than using the same ultra-wideband U1 chips that power Find My features in other portable devices like AirTags and AirPods, Apple is considering a different approach.
