It’s iPhone Duo Users Who Will Want a Stylus
Apple’s first foldable phone is also its first with pen support.
Two decades after Steve Jobs dismissed the idea of a stylus for the iPhone, Apple has returned to the concept with its new iPhone Duo. The first foldable phone from Apple is also its first to support a stylus. This time, the reason for including a stylus is not due to a small display, but rather the large screen size that rivals that of an iPad.
The inner screen measures 7.6 inches, nearly the same size as the 8.3-inch iPad Mini. When unfolded, the Duo boasts a massive display that is perfect for drawing, sketching, tapping, writing, and swiping. Apple announced that the iPhone Duo will support the Apple Pencil (via USB-C) later this year after a necessary software update to add pen support to iOS.
With a starting price of $1,999, some may justify the premium price by viewing the Duo as two devices in one, serving as both a phone and a tablet.
