Apple’s Foldable iPhone Might Support a Pencil, but Not at Launch

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple has internally prototyped an Apple Pencil accessory for its first foldable iPhone, but it’s unlikely to ship at the Sept. 9 launch of the so-called Ultra; concerns about folding-screen marks and whether a stylus fits a phone remain, and Apple has never offered an iPhone Pencil, echoing Steve Jobs’s 2007 remark that nobody wants a stylus.

Why Apple reportedly passed on an Apple Pencil for the iPhone Ultra

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman cites three reasons Apple reportedly ditched a shorter Apple Pencil for the iPhone Ultra: it would be awkward to hold if mounted on the side, it would conflict with Steve Jobs’ stance that a stylus is a poor substitute for a finger, and a folding display could be easily scratched or marked. The piece suggests ergonomics and display longevity were the decisive factors, with potential Pencil ideas staying on the table for the future.

Apple Tests Palm-Pilot Style Stylus for Foldable iPhone

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple is exploring a Palm-Pilot–style stylus for a foldable iPhone—a magnet-attached, shorter Pencil-like accessory that could ship with the foldable device, but it may never see release due to durability concerns and because Steve Jobs famously disliked styluses; Apple Pencil already exists for iPad.

Apple Pencil for iPhone Ultra: A rumored, likely shelved accessory

Stylus-Driven Midrange Gets Leaner Software, But Cameras Lag

The 2026 Moto G Stylus trims preinstalled apps to a manageable level and adds a highly usable active stylus with pressure sensing, plus a headphone jack, microSD slot, and strong IP ratings. At $499 it’s pricier than before, and while the camera is adequate and the device handles tasks smoothly most of the time, it shows color punch and processing quirks, and Motorola’s software updates are limited to two OS upgrades and three years of security patches, leaving it behind rivals like the Pixel 10A in update cadence.
