Apple came remarkably close to launching a dedicated stylus accessory for an iPhone duo, according to a recent report. While the Apple Pencil has long been a defining feature for the iPad lineup, the company apparently explored bringing similar precision input capabilities to its flagship smartphones.
Despite the concept advancing within the company's hardware pipeline, Apple ultimately pulled the plug on the project before it ever made it to store shelves. The last-minute decision kept the iPhone lineup focused entirely on touch input, leaving stylus support exclusive to Apple's larger displays.
Smartphone-focused styluses have historically been a notable differentiator for select Android flagships. While Apple chose not to challenge those offerings with its own alternative, the canceled accessory provides a rare glimpse into the design experiments that take place behind closed doors.
