YouTube is introducing new tools for creators to display product ads in their videos. Creators can now add timestamps to the products they tag so a shopping button pops up at the right time for viewers. This could benefit creators and sponsors by giving them more control over the ad placement. 

Additionally, YouTube is rolling out some other features for shopping. Creators can tag affiliate products in bulk in their video libraries, which could boost their revenue from older but popular videos. YouTube Studio will also show creators which products generate the most revenue for them soon.

Apple unveiled a new USB-C Apple Pencil on Tuesday for $109. It will launch in early November with the other Apple Pencils, which cost $129 and $169.

Of course, that's still a premium price tag, but that's still less than its US$3,500 (CA$4,767) starting price.
