Aside from packing Microsoft Paint’s features, the app also has a 3D builder that provides users with a hybrid 2D-3D editing experience. Microsoft launched Paint 3D last year, alongside the Windows 10 Creators update. There’s mention of the app working hand-in-hand with the headset, according to Patently Apple.

What’s more is that Apple could be developing this feature as an app with its highly anticipated mixed reality headset in mind. Among these features is one that will allow users to create 3D images on their iPad tablet. There are details in the patent that mention how Apple is planning to introduce new features to its Apple Pencil peripheral. Patent & Trademark Office recently published a patent application from Tim Cook’s company, containing what appears to be a confirmation that Apple is developing its answer to Microsoft’s Paint 3D, which is the more advanced spinoff of Microsoft Paint. This assumption was made after the Cupertino giant’s new patent application became public. Apple is believed to be working on an iOS version of Microsoft’s 3D Paint app.
