Apple Pencil for iPhone Ultra Was Tested

Apple has internally prototyped, tested, and considered launching an Apple Pencil for the upcoming foldable iPhone, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2026-08-30/john-ternus-management-team-apple-watch-series-12-foldable-iphone-apple-pencil-mtfvmdyu">according to <em>Bloomberg</em>'s Mark Gurman</a>.

He said the Apple Pencil for the foldable iPhone was designed to magnetically attach and charge on the side of the device. <br /> <br /> Steve Jobs famously mocked smartphone styluses when he unveiled the original iPhone in 2007. <br /> <br /> Apple is expected to unveil the foldable iPhone during its September 9 event, and <em>Macworld</em> previously reported that the device <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/04/27/apple-planning-to-launch-two-new-ultra-products/">will be named iPhone Ultra</a>.<div class="linkback">Tags: <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-pencil/">Apple Pencil</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone-ultra/">iPhone Ultra</a>, <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/">Mark Gurman</a></div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: <a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ipad-accessories.139">iPad Accessories</a></div><br />This article, &quot;<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/30/apple-pencil-for-iphone-ultra-was-tested/">Apple Pencil for iPhone Ultra Was Tested</a>&quot; first appeared on <a href="https://www.macrumors.com">MacRumors.com</a><br /><br /><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-pencil-for-iphone-ultra-was-tested.2488196/">Discuss this article</a> in our forums<br /><br />
