iPhone Duo product page<\/a>. Asked \u201cDoes iPhone Duo work with Apple Pencil or a stylus?\u201d, Apple answers: \u201cYes. iPhone Duo will work with Apple Pencil (USB\u2011C). Coming later this year.\u201d<\/p>\nWhere Apple lists Pencil support<\/p>\n
The FAQ is not the only place. Apple\u2019s iPhone Duo spec page lists \u201cSupports Apple Pencil (USB-C)\u201d in the section for both displays, with a footnote that reads \u201cComing later this year.\u201d The same line and footnote appear on Apple\u2019s iPhone comparison page and on the UK spec page.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s Apple Pencil (USB-C) store page backs this up. Its compatibility section has an \u201ciPhone Models\u201d heading with one entry, iPhone Duo, above the list of supported iPad models. That entry carries the same \u201cComing later this year\u201d footnote.<\/p>\n
That means support is listed for the 7.6-inch inner display and the 5.4-inch outer display, not just the larger screen. The inner display has a 1878-by-2670-pixel resolution at 430 ppi and a nano-texture finish, according to Apple\u2019s spec page.<\/p>\n
What Apple Pencil (USB-C) does<\/p>\n
Apple describes Apple Pencil (USB-C) as \u201cperfect for taking notes, sketching, marking up documents, journaling, and more.\u201d The store page says it \u201cdelivers pixel\u2011perfect precision, low latency, and tilt sensitivity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here are the basics from Apple\u2019s store listing:<\/p>\n
SpecApple Pencil (USB-C)U.S. price$79.00Diameter0.35 inch (8.9 mm)Length6.10 inches (155 mm)Weight0.72 ounce (20.5 grams)ConnectionsBluetooth, USB-C<\/p>\n
On iPad, Apple says it \u201cpairs and charges via a USB-C Charge Cable\u201d and \u201cmagnetically attaches to the side of iPad for storage.\u201d<\/p>\n
What it lacks compared with Apple Pencil Pro<\/p>\n
Apple Pencil (USB-C) does less than Apple Pencil Pro, and Apple\u2019s own comparison chart is clear about the gaps. Apple marks these features as \u201cNot compatible with Apple Pencil (USB-C)\u201d:<\/p>\n
Pressure sensitivity<\/p>\n
Wireless pairing and charging<\/p>\n
Double-tap to change tools<\/p>\n
Barrel roll<\/p>\n
Squeeze<\/p>\n
Haptic feedback<\/p>\n
The features it does share with Apple Pencil Pro on Apple\u2019s chart are pixel-perfect precision, low latency, tilt sensitivity, magnetic attachment and Apple Pencil hover.<\/p>\n
Hover needs a note of caution. Apple\u2019s footnote says \u201cApple Pencil hover works with iPad Pro (M4 and M5), iPad Pro 11\u2011inch (4th generation), iPad Pro 12.9\u2011inch (6th generation), iPad Air (M2, M3, and M4), and iPad mini (A17 Pro).\u201d iPhone Duo is not on that list.<\/p>\n
Apple Pencil Pro is also not listed for iPhone Duo. Apple\u2019s Apple Pencil compatibility support document names only iPad models for Apple Pencil Pro, and the iPhone Duo FAQ names only Apple Pencil (USB-C).<\/p>\n
What Apple has not detailed<\/p>\n
Apple has not said which software update brings Pencil support to iPhone Duo, or how pairing, charging and storage will work on a phone rather than an iPad. For now, the only firm timing is \u201clater this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Should you buy one now<\/p>\n
If you already own an Apple Pencil (USB-C) for a supported iPad, Apple\u2019s listing suggests the same stylus will work with iPhone Duo once support arrives. Apple\u2019s FAQ names only that model, so owners of other Apple Pencil versions should not plan around theirs.<\/p>\n
If you do not own one, there is no rush. Apple sells Apple Pencil (USB-C) for $79.00 on its U.S. store, and Apple lists iPhone Duo support as \u201cComing later this year.\u201d Waiting until Apple turns on support lets you see how it works on the phone before you spend the money.<\/p>\n
