Apple Tested Smaller Apple Pencil for Foldable iPhone Ultra but May Not Launch It
Apple reportedly developed a smaller, stubbier Apple Pencil designed for its upcoming foldable iPhone, the iPhone Ultra, featuring magnetic attachment for storage and charging. However, design challenges, including potential interference when unfolding the device and risks of damaging the inner screen, have likely led Apple to exclude the stylus from the launch. This would mark a departure from Apple's traditional stance against stylus use on iPhones, where the Apple Pencil has primarily been associated with iPads for creative tasks.
