I mean, that’s exactly how the S-Pen works?
mechanical_banana t1_ixqj2yh wrote
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

The S-pen doesn’t have a battery?

*Old S-Pens, newer ones have batteries.

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.

Good. Who wants a stylus? You have to get them and put them away and you lose them. Yuck! Nobody wants a stylus.

No it doesn’t have a battery, it has a supercapacitor.

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…..
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’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

I would love this

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.
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.

Weird_Cantaloupe2757 t1_ixs40xg wrote
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.
Weird_Cantaloupe2757 t1_ixs46d8 wrote
Yeah it really is awesome as a secondary input, I loved my Note.

I’ll never forget that from Steve.
Frisky_Potato42nite t1_ixscbwy wrote
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?
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.
judge2020 t1_ixse1h3 wrote
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.

Much appreciated your addition mate, wont edit my comment, give credit to this man.
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.
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.
Weird_Cantaloupe2757 t1_ixshx0w wrote
Yeah it was really awesome, it’s a shame that it comes with the baggage of Samsung’s awful UI.

I mean the iPads do this so an Apple Pencil for an iPhone would as well.
modulusshift t1_ixsjetw wrote
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.
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.

Sure, but I don't see it on any iPhones.
Do you?
wankthisway t1_ixssrtf wrote
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.
Millicent_the_wizard t1_ixsthqq wrote
That’s a terrible idea. Good thing it was scraped
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.
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.
CavingGrape t1_ixswxmc wrote
Thank you my fren :D
Crispynipps t1_ixsx5fj wrote
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.

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

He was just so abusive that sometimes he got remarkable results.
Genius? Was he good at math or something?
whocaresfuckthisshit t1_ixta5rn wrote
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.

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

Still Apple not selling stylus for iPhones, Steve never talk about iPads I guess.
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.
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.
