Apple Pencil for iPhone Ultra Was Tested
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple dropped the accessory after testing showed it could interfere with folding and damage the display.
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple has abandoned plans to launch an Apple Pencil for its upcoming foldable device after internally prototyping and testing the accessory.
- Despite Steve Jobs' long-standing philosophy against shipping a device with a stylus, Apple engineers tested a magnetic attachment method similar to other products for storage and charging on the foldable.
- Designers scrapped the project after discovering that a 'stubbier' prototype and magnetic attachment could interfere with folding, while a stylus risked leaving visible marks on the display's soft upper layer.
- At the Apple September event, the foldable device is expected to debut, though Gurman added it is 'unlikely' the stylus will launch alongside it.
- As Apple prioritizes a major redesign, future models of the Apple Watch Series may feature ceramic cases and advanced health sensors, with rollout planned for next year.
