Will the Apple Pencil be compatible/work with the iPhone 6S when it is released?

I was wondering the same thing. From what Apple's site says though, it seems to only be compatible with the iPad Pro

No, it won't work with other devices OP.

For starters, the Apple Pencil needs to be paired with the iPad Pro via Bluetooth. MashableSenior Tech Correspondent Christina Warren, who is reporting from the event, says the tip of the Apple Pencil is plastic and houses the sensors. It's not capacitive, so it won't work as a regular stylus on other iOS devices.

No, this is exclusive to iPad Pro for now. They would've said it by now if it was compatible.

The stylus requires a special combination of sensors and display technologies that only iPad Pro has now and hasn't been ported to iPhone or other iPads. It is possible in the future as they continue to work on these technologies, the same stylus could be made compatible with the newer models.

Thanks for the info! I just thought it may be compatible as both use Force/3D Touch.
