Waiting for iPhone 14 launch? You may miss out on this big feature!

The iPhone 14 launch is set for the Fall, but those waiting for the latest iPhone should know that they will likely not be seeing a big feature- a stylus. Despite rivals like Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra having a stylus, Apple is likely not going to include a stylus with the upcoming iPhone 14.

According to Tech Radar, iPhones have long been rumoured to get a stylus. The reports first came around in 2017 and the iPhone 11 especially was expected to finally get a stylus in the form of Apple Pencil. (AFP)

The likelihood of Apple finally including Apple Pencil with its iPhones is still very low. Rumours about the iPhone getting various crazy features arise every year, but Apple tends to focus on features which are expected to be used by the masses, such as the MagSafe, 120Hz display and 5G compatibility.

Unlike Samsung and other brands where you have a wide variety of smartphone series to choose from, Apple tends to only launch a maximum of four devices a year. So, if even two users preferred stylus among them, it would still be only half of the consumers, therefore, if you did not want a stylus in your phone, your choices becomes pretty limited.

Therefore, a stylus from Apple should not be expected in the near future, believes Tech Radar. It certainly does not mean that Apple will never bring this feature to its iPhones, but going by Apple’s philosophy of refining features before introducing them in their devices, it could be quite some time before we see an iPhone getting Apple Pencil support.

So, it can be said that the rumours of the iPhone getting a stylus should be taken with a pinch of salt. So, the big question is will we see a stylus with an iPhone? Probably, yes. When can we expect it? We cannot put a date on it as yet. (REUTERS)
