«How are we going to interact with him? We're not taking the mouse, are we? Then, what are we going to do? A stylus, right? We are going to use a Stylus… No. Who wants a Stylus? You have to catch it, put it around, lose it, yuck! Nobody wants a Stylus, so let's not use a Stylus […]» said Steve Jobs when presenting the iPhone in 2007. If after that those of Cupertino received criticism when presenting the Apple Pencil for the iPad Pro, what would haters if they took it to the iPhone? It is not very difficult to imagine.
Steve Jobs's words could lose a lot of meaning years after being uttered if Apple decided to make what they have described in his latest patents, among which there is one in which we can see the Apple Pencil running on an iPhone. On the other hand, it also describes how we would use the apple pencil in company applications such as iMovie.
Is it a good idea to use the Apple Pencil on the iPhone?
In my opinion, the options never hurt. But, on the one hand, I totally agree with the former CEO of Apple. A Stylus is an extra object with which we have to be careful not to lose it or damage it. Then I think of some users who use their mobile for work who would rather be able to do something else with their iPhone. The only thing that would hurt me is that iOS lost some performance to include support for the Apple Pencil.
To justify the words of Jobs, the co-founder of the apple company spoke at a time when mobile devices weren't doing as much like the current ones. Today we can use the iPhone to call, to play or to create, and it is no secret that it is better selected with a finer tip than with a finger.
How do you see it? Apple Pencil on the iPhone or not?
Why not! I agree with your point of view. As long as it does not affect the performance of the iPhone, this tool would give an extra touch to our device and would clearly benefit users who already use the Apple Pencil with our iPad Pro. On many occasions I have needed to use this tool on my iPhone And without a doubt, being able to do it would make our lives much easier in different aspects.
I'm with Jobs on this one too, so if we have 10 fingers.
