Bro, they charge you for a cloth that was included in the macs previously. If they can charge you for something they will. No matter how.

It’s probably capable, going to software unlocks for refresh rates, pencil support , wide angle . They only made 100 billion or whatever last quarter. Need moar

I for one hope it is a different pencil. I don’t want to have to carry such a large Apple Pencil around me to us with my phone.

It would absolutely have to be a different pencil, the existing one is way too fucking big. I loved the one on the Note, it slides right into the body of the phone so you just always have it.

flimspringfield t1_ixsg415 wrote

One of things I liked about the Note was that when the pencil popped out you could take handwritten notes that were then translated to readable text.

I mean the iPads do this so an Apple Pencil for an iPhone would as well.

StreetlyMelmexIII t1_ixu0g96 wrote

I had one for testing and I think the pencil was literally the only thing I liked about it. The level of friction made for great penciling.

The Apple Pencil makes sense for the iPad. It's sized for the iPad. On the iPhone, its too bulky and cumbersome. Plus, where are you gonna put it?? In your pocket?

TuaAnon t1_ixtpsez wrote

it will stay on the ipad of course. which is meant to be taken with you anyway.

look, they can make a new pencil for iphone for all I care, all I‘m saying is please make the existing one at least work with it! know what I mean?

I just dont wanna HAVE TO buy another one

Tumblrrito t1_ixs01uy wrote

He was right about a stylus being a lousy primary input device, but the success of the Galaxy Note has proven that there is utility in having a stylus for certain things. I’d love one for notes and annotation, as fat-fingering a drawing just doesn’t work well.

GeneralZaroff1 t1_ixscenk wrote

Yep. So many people completely misunderstood that the stylus at the time he was talking about was before capacitive touchscreens.

Capacitive touchscreens still are still infinitely better than the stylus-based devices like Palm Pilots at the time.

Quin1617 t1_ixsku1o wrote

Agreed. I loved my Note and used it’s stylus pretty much daily.

Jobs was right about one thing though, I lost it on more than one occasion.

Also note that he said “nobody wants to watch video on a small iPod screen” at the iPod Photo launch event, only a year before releasing an iPod that could play video as the new selling point. Steve Jobs was a salesman first and foremost, he’d always tell you that anything he doesn’t have couldn’t possibly compare to what he did have, right up until he had the other thing too.

I mean, you're leaving out that they bumped the screen size between the 4th and 5th gen iPods.

Steve Jobs had an incredibly high IQ. He created many of apples most legendary products and he perfectly understood what made a good product versus a bad product. He was a severe micromanager and decided the most minute details of products Apple released. He even OKed apples most successful Mac awareness campaign in the mid 2000s.

You can hate all you want but the man is a legend.

Lol, IQ? Why not just say the wrinkles in his skull prove his genius? Stop buying into a billionaire’s self-mythology.

I wish we could continue arguing but you genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about and that much is very clear. So go on thinking what you want. Cheers.

Noah_PpAaRrKkSs t1_ixtc46c wrote

IQ is not and has never been a good measurement of intelligence. So whether or not Steve Jobs had a high IQ is about as relevant as phrenology which is what I was describing with the skull thing. You also didn’t even back up that he did have a high IQ. He was abusive, narcissistic, and willing to take advantage of people. Those were his only skills.

toonddd t1_ixtvdfu wrote

Dragging successful people you've never met down to feel less disappointed in your mediocre life is also a bit narcissistic mate. Getting a group of grown-ups to do what you want, eg. being a leader, will not work if being abusive is your only quality lol. The world is grey, not b&w.

They only need the "battery" for air gestures and a few other things. My Tab S7's pen is charged like once a month and it can still write.

I mean, what happens when your finger touches the screen is literally closing an electrical circuit; run some 5V through that safely and you’ve got power.

Surely in order to work, the iPhone screen would’ve needed some extra layers. If the leak was true, supply chain leaks or at the very least disassembly videos would show the existence of the digitiser

Hydeburns t1_ixrfvom wrote

I so hope this rumor comes back to life and to fruition by next fall. I plan on updating from an 11 pro max to whatever the 2023 iPhone is. Yet, I still tote around a Note 9 simply for on the fly photo editing and such.

I realize a lot of apple fans think it a dumb idea, and that Jobs thought the same. But, cmon. If the pencil is optional and the extra screen tech doesn’t add to the overall iPhone price, what would it hurt?

…..Jobs also said big phones are dumb….so…..

I’m literally buying a note for the pencil when I have the money as a back up to my iPhone lmaoooo. I’m with Steve on this one tho, iPhone shouldn’t have a stylus. Just seems wrong

SigmaLance t1_ixsw2v3 wrote

The Note is now the Ultra series of the Galaxy line. Just an FYI if you were looking to get the latest and greatest.

realgamerperry t1_ixrlbq9 wrote

Ok, I have an Apple Pencil already, using it on an iPhone might be neat, a little extra functionality and a tighter ecosystem. Cool

Would I buy a second Apple Pencil that I can use on both an iPad and iPhone? I mean its not impossible. Now would I buy a separate Apple Pencil for use only on the iPhone? Absolutely not.

I tried going back to android after getting a S22U, but couldn't get back into the flow of it. I have an ipad and apple pencil, but it's just too damn unwieldy sometimes. I'd be one of the first on board for a iphone with a pencil of some kind.

If this is real, then there would be leaked images of it soon.

I doubt it is tho, we're just supposed to trust some sketchy person with no track record.

evilbowlofcereal28 t1_ixsftyi wrote

It would literally have to be a different one because of how large the first and second Apple pencils were. Interesting leak tho.

SigmaLance t1_ixsvton wrote

Before moving over to the iPhone I always used every Samsung Note that was released, but in the beginning the pen was kind of meh.

After a few iterations of them working out ideas and adding a ton of functionality I found it to be a huge plus to owning the phones.

I don’t believe anything is scraped at apple. They just pulled it and they’ll refine it some more. Just like that wireless charging Mat.
