The iPhone 14 family of smartphones was going to have an exclusive feature so far of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. According to a rumor, all the members of this series of devices intended to be compatible with a Smart Pen to offer an effective solution for multitasking, but, finally, this option ended up being discarded.
It is not the first time that we have encountered this kind of leaks and it is that users have been demanding this feature for a long time. Everything seemed to indicate that this would be the year of its launch, but it seems that we have to wait for next year and the consequent launch of the iPhone 15.
An Apple Pencil that never arrived
The latest reports that have been revealed reveal that the iPhone 14 was going to have a smart pencil as an accessory for the phone , although this proposal was rejected a few days before the official landing of these terminals. The truth is that it would have been an interesting addition to the larger Plus and Pro Max models, since they would greatly facilitate user control and accessibility.
The supposed Apple Pencil for smartphones, as it would possibly have received another name, has the code name Marker within the base code of the American company. Its use was specifically linked to the iPhone 14 line and its price would be 49 dollars, that is, about 49 euros to change . So it wouldn’t have been a hugely expensive add-on compared to other accessories.
The reason why this decision was canceled at the last moment before the arrival of the new generation is unknown. Mainly, because the Cupertino company came to produce up to 1 million of these stylus or smart pencils. So it is truly strange that Apple decided to lose all that money invested, although perhaps it keeps them for the next iPhone 15.
Rumors also indicate that this Smart Pen model would be much simpler than the current Apple Pencil used for the iPad. It is impossible to know what kind of features it would offer the user, but it is most likely that it would be similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to take notes, have quick control or quickly edit screenshots.
The iPhone 15 is salvation
It should be noted that this information is merely a rumor, so these data should not be considered official. The source comes from the Chinese platform Weibo, although we do not know the origin of the leak, since it is not the informant on other occasions and as well known as Digital Chat Station.
Likewise, what is certain is that we will not have S-Pen for the iPhone 14, although this possibility is not ruled out for the next generation . Rumors about the appearance of an iPhone 15 Ultra model are getting stronger, so it would not be surprising if Apple took the plunge with this smartphone.
Given the business nature of the company’s mobiles, having an accessory like this could be very helpful during the development of activities. This, together with the affordable price that it would have at first, means that we cannot wait any longer to see a first look at this quality.
