If the new iPhone models support the Pencil, will you consider buying one?

[staceymj86]

Not this year if they come with Apple Pencil support. I love my XS Max and won’t be upgrading this year.

I haven’t used my Apple Pencil with my iPad Pro in 7 months. I even forget I have it until I clicked on this thread.

Will consider it, but liking the Xr.

If Apple included their copy of an S Pen in their iPhones it would make the battery life even worse.

 

[Lee_Bo]

Nope. Already using in ink pen with a stylus on the end. It does what I need it to do, when I use it.

 

[vimagreg]

Nope. I’ll rather try Note 10, instead.

 

[Spencerdl]

Aaaaah....NO!!!

 

[FFR]

Actually I would be less interested in the new iPhone if it came with a stylus.

The Apple Pencil is an option, not a necessity to use the iPhone / iPad.
Therefore it shouldn’t matter if it came with it or not.

No.
If it was optional. Sure.

But if the stylus came with it and/or would require extra room in the device then no it would matter.
Don’t want to pay the added cost for something I’m never going to use on a smartphone.

Exactly, If iPhone has a pencil, I will quite

 

[Al Paca]

Not really interested at all. If all the iPhones came with it but there was no required use, I’d put it in the drawer. If I left it with the phone I’d probably click it constantly and break the mechanism that holds it in place...that’s is under the thought it would somehow be in the phone and pop out like Samsung.

On the other hand, if it’s just a new device capable of using the Apple Pencil, I’d still buy the phone, just wouldn’t buy the pencil.

I have no use for a stylus so it wouldn't affect my buying decision at all. My main hope is that the smaller sized iPhone 11 has battery life similar to that of last year's XR. I loved the size of the XS but the battery life killed it for me. On the other hand, I loved the battery life of the XR but the size killed it for me. In the end, I went back to an iPhone 8.

 

[Wotchered]

No.

 

[Jude526]

It’s the only thing I miss from Samsung. I always used the spen
Wish iPhones were compatible with the pencil

 

[Annie_M]

I still would!

 

[Lee_Bo]

iPad, yes. Already have one.

iPhone? Nope. Already use an ink pen with a stylus on the end and it works just fine.

I think the iPhone is too small of a screen to do anything with a stylus. I also hated the stylus with my HP Windows PDA and Palm devices. The styluses were so easy to lose. Especially on my Palm Treo.

 

[ras47]

Ah, another Palm Treo user! The Treo was the bee's knees when it came out. The first true convergence device for the rest of us that didn't get a corporate BlackBerry. And we could play Dope Wars!

I have no use for a stylus on my iPhone. I used an Apple Pencil on an iPad to draw up a plan for a new deck and a new front porch, but I think it would have been easier to use a regular pencil and a piece of graph paper.

I knew a couple Blackberry users who owned Palm Treos. Mine crashed or spontaneously rebooted at least twice a day, running the stock Verizon ROM with no other software. I longed for a simple generic Palm OS Garnet, without any Verizon bloat ware full of software conflicts.

I curse the Palm Treo. Especially Palm Corp., who sold Palm OS Garnet to Access of Japan, then completey shutdown Access’s Linux Palm OS 2, in favor of Palm Corp.’s own WebOS.

I'm locked in now for a couple of years with my iPhone 12 Pro. However, I will eventually need a new iPad, so I'll look forward to using an Apple Pencil then!
