In a creative turn of marketing, Apple has introduced the new Apple Pencil Pro, not just with enhanced features but also with a vibrant packaging upgrade. Available at $129 each, these styluses are enclosed in striking boxes that spell out "Pro" in various artistic styles, distinguishing each package.
Tech enthusiast Arun Maini first highlighted the distinctive packaging on social media, noting that while the sides of the boxes remain uniformly white, the tops showcase different artistic renderings of the "Pro" motif intertwined with images of the Apple Pencil Pro itself. This attention to design detail might appeal particularly to collectors, who would need to shell out a total of $645 to own all five variants.
However, securing a specific design might require a visit to an Apple Store. Online orders will ship with a randomly selected box design, with no option for buyers to choose their preferred style. Inside sources suggest that at less busy times, customers in-store might be able to request specific box designs, assuming they are in stock.
The Apple Pencil Pro, which only works with the newly announced iPad Air and iPad Pro models, is set for a release with shipments beginning May 15, 2024. For those eager to collect or just enjoy the aesthetic appeal of their tech products, a trip to an Apple Store might just be worthwhile.
