The odd thing, really, is that Apple didn’t go ahead with the plan, and neither DuanRui nor the Weibo source has so far offered any clues why. And it could have been pressed into service on the iPhone too, for added value for money. The “Marker” would have worked fine with the iPad 10th gen, and appealed to a budget audience with its lower price tag. Will Apple make an Apple Pencil for iPhone There have been rumors here and there suggesting Apple could develop a version of the Apple Pencil for the iPhone, but no such product has ever. The answer, perhaps, is that Apple had another plan, but it fell through. Why would it paint itself into a corner like that? And on iPad Pro, Apple Pencil hover shows you exactly where your Apple Pencil will touch down on your display, so you can write, sketch and illustrate with even greater precision.
Hardware design decisions (the USB-C port the landscape camera) evidently meant the iPad couldn’t work normally with either Pencil model, but those were decisions that Apple made. Apple Pencil sets the standard for how drawing, notetaking and marking up documents should feel intuitive, precise and magical. This was an unappealing solution, to say the least, and we have complained about this in multiple articles. When Apple unveiled the 10th-gen iPad in October, confused tech reporters were informed that it supported the 1st-gen Apple Pencil, but would need a dongle to charge or pair with that accessory. But it has to be said that (aside from iPhone compatibility, which based on past Apple statements is a long shot) the idea makes a lot of sense. For this reason it might be best to consume the rumor with a large serving of skepticism, and until we get further corroboration, we’d hesitate to endorse the story’s accuracy. Originally–and this is often the case with DuanRui’s tweets, as they themselves acknowledge–the story comes from a source on Weibo, in this case one with almost no track record to speak of.
