Apple Pencil might one day work with iPhone — but new battery-free patent design might disappoint pen power users


A new patent hints toward a non-powered Apple Pencil that may work on iPhone, giving pen-style input control to the smartphone, but with design choices that could come with some caveats.

According to the US Patent Office, Apple filed to protect an invention design for the pen back in September 2023, and had it approved on April 11. Called ‘Photo-sensing enabled display for stylus detection’, its Abstract section essentially describes how a non-powered stylus would work on Apple’s devices.
