The description of 'Apple Pencil Pro' was found in the code on Apple's page, but it was quickly corrected
The reference to 'Apple Pencil Pro' was found in the code on Apple's official Japanese website. It has been pointed out that this may be a mistranslation, as the reference to 'Apple Pencil Pro' has not been found on any other official website other than Japanese. However, since the Apple Pencil is depicted in the logo for the new product launch event 'Let Loose' scheduled to be held by Apple from 11:00 pm on May 7, 2024, some people have speculated that the new product to be unveiled at this event will be the 'Apple Pencil Pro.'

X (formerly Twitter) user @ribu_ap712 posted a post predicting that the next Apple Pencil may be released as part of a new lineup rather than the third generation, because the code on Apple's website shows 'Apple Pencil Pro.' According to him, this was first discovered by a person named Neural, who is active on GIZMODO's Discord server.
If you look at this page with F12, you'll see 'Apple Pencil Pro' displayed.

I wonder if they'll release the Pro as part of a new lineup, not the 3.pic.twitter.com/i5AlTcymGg
In fact, the following is an access to Apple's official Japanese website at around 9:45 am on May 7, 2024. The event on May 7, 2024 is announced on the top page.
And when we checked the source code on the official website, we found that the description of the event logo said 'Apple Pencil Pro.'
According to MacRumors, a foreign media outlet that reported on this discovery, a new Apple Pencil was expected to be announced at this event, whether it was called Apple Pencil Pro or not. The new Apple Pencil is rumored to include new features such as 'squeeze' gestures, haptic feedback, and support for Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 2.
On the other hand, IT news site The Verge pointed out that it may be a mistranslation, since websites in other countries, including the United States, list the product as Apple Pencil instead of Apple Pencil Pro. The Verge has reached out to Apple, but has not received a response.
Later, when I checked again around 10:20, the description of Apple Pencil Pro had been corrected to Apple Pencil.
