iPad Pro Specs Rumors: Alleged 12.9-inch Device to Arrive With 'Apple Pen' Stylus?

Recent tech news circulating the Web right now pointed out to a rumor saying that Apple may have its own stylus to accompany the purported iPad Pro.

A report from Gizmodo.com cited an Apple Insider article saying that the Cupertino-based tech giant might be planning to make their own "iPen" or "Apple Pen" to complement its upcoming 12.9-inch tablet device. The rumor originated from long-time Apple tipster Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities.

As stated, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus maker "already has patents" for its own stylus intended for yet another alleged device from their manufacturing line.

According to Kuo, the stylus could further enhance the user's experience of the tablet at it is "more precise than a person's fingers."

Kuo also believed that the physical writing utensil might arrive in the second quarter of 2015. He meanwhile added that the device could only be an optional accessory.

"Coupled with its unfavorable cost structure, high selling prices may turn consumers off if the 12.9-inch iPad is always bundled with it," he told Apple Insider. "We therefore expect the stylus to be an optional accessory before sufficient user feedback is received."

The "Nostradamus" of Apple products went on to say that there might not be anything special about the pen once it arrives for the first time. However, he believes that the gizmo company will "gradually add new features" in the future including "3D handwriting."
