Do any of the active styluses offered on Amazon work decently on an iPhone? No skipping jagged lines, etc.? I don’t expect it to be as good as an Apple Pencil on a iPad but hope it can work reasonably well. I don’t like the regular capactive stylus models with things like a small disk at the tip. Thanks!
 
Hi mate - I recently ordered one of these to use with our iPad Air 2: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RN4LFPZ/

No disc at the bottom (as I was in the same camp as you and didn't want that weird disk thingy). It works perfectly fine on both the iPad and my iPhone XS - though I will say it's the size of a normal pencil rather than a mini one, so something to keep in mind if using with iPhone - it may feel big at times.

Edit: They do sell more expensive ones that might have more features etc. but I went for the cheapest one as I just wanted it for note taking

I bought a brand name one. The Adonit Dash 3. We’ll see how it goes.
