Apple’s Foldable iPhone May Support Pencil, But Launch Delayed

Foldable iPhone may get Apple Pencil support; stylus launch could be delayed · livemint.com

Apple may be making a smaller Apple Pencil for a future foldable iPhone.

The Pencil could attach to the phone’s side and charge there.

However, that location might get in the way when the phone is opened.

The phone’s inside screen could also be delicate enough to be scratched by a stylus.

Reports say the Pencil probably will not be ready when the first foldable iPhone launches.

The foldable iPhone is widely expected to appear at Apple’s 9 September event.

Apple is also testing white and dark-grey ceramic cases for the Apple Watch Series 12.

The company may improve heart-rate tracking so it collects information more regularly.

A major Apple Watch redesign may not happen until next year or possibly 2028.
