iPhone Duo becomes first iPhone to support Apple Pencil

Summarised from TechRadar's report · Updated 7 Nov, 10:36 · Archive

The iPhone Duo is the first iPhone to support stylus input, accepting the USB-C Apple Pencil on its 7.6-inch inner display.

The iPhone Duo is Apple's first iPhone to support Apple Pencil input, marking a departure from co-founder Steve Jobs's original design principles. The stylus works with the device's large 7.6-inch inner display, which features a nanotech finish that hides the screen's crease.

TechRadar reports that the iPhone Duo's drawing capabilities rival those of an iPad Mini when paired with the Apple Pencil USB-C version. However, the iPhone Duo lacks the magnetic edge charging capability found on iPads, which typically charge and pair their Pencils by attaching to the device's side. The foldable phone's design does not offer an equivalent charging mechanism for the stylus.
