  • A large black ribbon cable unfurls from around the Pencil body, revealing what looks like a capacitative grid!

  • This is likely used to register tap inputs, but this grid ought to help the Pencil know where—not just when—you tap. Could more complex gestures be on the way?

  • Unfortunately, it's back to destruction from here—the Pencil's many welded steel layers put up quite a fight, and we're only able to reveal a few components.

  • Battery (even we don't want to tempt that little explosive)

  • Wireless charging coil

  • Alignment magnets

  • Broadcom BCM59358A0 wireless charging IC (likely)

  • Analog Devices 343S00250 Apple Pencil nib sensor controller (likely)
