Apple Pencil now compatible with new iPhone Duo, with caveats

Apple is introducing Apple Pencil compatibility with its new iPhone Duo, a significant departure from its previous iPad-only stance. This functionality will be enabled through a future iOS update, expected around November, and will exclusively support the Apple Pencil (USB-C) model. While the Pencil can be used on both the main and outer screens of the foldable iPhone, it requires a USB-C cable for pairing and charging, lacking the magnetic attachment and advanced features found in the Apple Pencil Pro.
