Another Report Says Second-Generation iPhone X and iPhone X Plus Will Support Apple Pencil

I think Apple might release a slight shorter Pencil 2, wireless charging would be a nice feature. But I’d defer to the graphic artists who the Pencil is meant for as to whether shorter and/or lighter would be an improvement. Artists who use them seem to love them, and Apple wouldn’t want to make it worse for the core users just to make it more convenient for the note-taker crowd. I don’t think Apple would carry two models.
Yes that is correct. It was intentional.
You failed to research poster in question.
That will give you your answer if you are so concerned.
Thanks for this tip.....I can hardly find any solid reviews....certainly no video reviews....I would love to learn that this works as slick and as stable as Notability. I'll continue to look into it.
"Disagreeing" and "I Think" don't result in anything provable from your original comment.
Especially the part in red.
I didn't read through all the 400 comments, but at a glance, it seems like many are missing the forest for the trees. Apple Pencil support requires ProMotion: "a technology that delivers refresh rates of up to 120Hz for fluid scrolling, greater responsiveness and smoother motion content."
It doesn't matter if you ever touch a Pencil to your 2018 iPhone. The fluidity of motion content and improved responsiveness to touch will feel amazing on a screen that size. ProMotion is the feature that will determine if I upgrade in this cycle or not.

I see, so you're dodging it. Got it.

I agree. Those stating Jobs intention was that a stylus shouldn't be needed to operate the phone (but was OK for some things) have not proven that position. Glad we're in agreement.
I think it more likely than not that Jobs would have rejected any form of stylus.
Promotion was just added to last year's iPad pro line. ProMotion does make the Pencil perform better but it's not required as I've used the Pencil before with teh 1st gen 12.9 ipad pro.
Yep, I have 2018 iPad now, but would love a Mini with pencil compatibility too.
Only thing that’s pathetic is this post to be honest. Can you actually see the sun anymore or are you too far up Samsung’s rear?
Fact is, if Apple do allow for the pencil to be used on the phone you most definitely can’t call it a ‘stylus’. A stylus is a very basic device, like the S Pen. The pencil is a quality drawing tool and with apps like ProCreate available for the iPhone, it makes sense to make use of the technology. Especially on the upcoming X Plus!
A MacBook Pro can easily support multiple monitors; the 13” model supports two 4K, while the 15” supports two 5K or four 4K monitors. All at 60 Hz and billions of colors (30 bit).
LOL a stylus existed way before Samsung started shipping them bud
And people who will either ignore or be completely oblivioius to the context under which those original comments were made. At the time smartphone navigation was dominated by Blackberry's jog wheel (or whatever that was called) and the closest thing to a touch interface required a stylus.

The 15" does support two 5K monitors, but from what I've heard, it struggles at that. I only have a single 5K and there are times when it struggles with just the 5K plus my MBP screen at the same time.
It all depends on your use case; the context of OP’s remarks was spreadsheets.

Nope, as I pointed out in another post, I couldn't give a monkeys about sales data or marketshare. Totally unimportant as a consumer.
I believe this is the post that started your line of inquiry?
If so you are asking for an opinion.
I do my best not to post opinions, positions or anecdotes.
My take is they are irrelevant.
I don't always succeed but that is what I strive to do.
I prefer to stick to things that can substantiated or verified.
Hope this clears up the matter.
Except that as a consumer if the note doesn’t sell Samsung will drop it.
Just like what happened to Nokia, BlackBerry, HTC, Sony, Motorola, and the essential phone.
No sales mean no device.so not as unimportant to the consumer as you make it out to be.
Most intelligent comment on MR I’ve seen in a long time.
This is true, but has nothing to do with the comment I responded to:
Nor does it have anyting to do with DNichter's comment, which is what you were respoding to:
Bottom line, the Note is a low seller for Samsung, it's a niche device and won't be as widespread as other Samsung or Iphone smartphones.
The numbers just aren't there.
Of course I am welcome to be corrected if I am in error and you have other data.
What's funny about the whole "who wants a stylus" comment is... it's still true. The percentage of people walking around, poking their smart phones with sticks is very, very small compared to those who don't want to do it. Even Apple Pencil... outside of the niche its not even an afterthought. People on the street don't care. The average Joe doesn't even know about it and will never want one.
The only reason the Apple Pencil exists is because Job's passed away and left his company in the hands of someone who worships stock holders too much.

Better yet, just buy a laptop.
