Apple reportedly considered launching a new Apple Pencil for iPhone Ultra
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple is set to debut its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra, in just over a week, but a new Apple Pencil designed for it is unlikely to be launched alongside the device.
- The proposed Apple Pencil for the iPhone Ultra would have been shorter and magnetically attach to the side for storage and charging, differing from the iPad's longer Apple Pencil design.
- Concerns about awkward handling, potential damage to the delicate inside screen, and conflicting with Steve Jobs’ original stance against styluses likely led Apple to shelve the idea.
- Despite the potential usefulness of an Apple Pencil for the iPhone Ultra, it appears Apple will not introduce one at this time.
- Consumers are encouraged to check Apple’s refurbished store for discounts on various Apple products following recent price hikes.
