Apple has been internally prototyping, testing and considering launching an Apple Pencil for the next foldable iPhone, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman. However, he said it was unlikely the accessory would make it to market.
In his To light up In today’s newsletter, Gurman said the Apple Pencil tested for the foldable iPhone was chunkier than the iPad versions. He said the Apple Pencil for the foldable iPhone was designed to magnetically attach and charge to the side of the device.
Steve Jobs mocked smartphone styluses when he unveiled the original iPhone in 2007.
Apple is expected to unveil the foldable iPhone at its September 9 event, and Macmonde previously reported that the device would be called iPhone Ultra.
