Gaskin took to Twitter earlier today and shared the latest rumours regarding the second generation Apple Pencil. He added that Apple Pencil 2 will feature a more streamlined design than the current model. “The silver rail on top is now gone”, he tweeted. Furthermore, he that Apple Pencil 2 will be magnetically attachable to the new iPad.
