Device to Come with its Own Stylus Pen

While the highly anticipated iPhone X has yet to hit the store shelves, there are already rumors on what the iPhone 9 will boast of when it arrives next year. However, among the many rumors attached to the 2018 iPhone, the one claiming it will come with its own stylus pen has been the loudest by far.

Tech pundits opine that the upcoming iPhone X is the Apple smartphone that delivers the biggest changes. Apart from being the first and only iPhone to come with a Face ID system, the mobile device is also the first to be bezel-less. However, as Apple is known for delivering big improvements to their yearly releases of new iPhones, it is now rumored to introduce another first when it releases the iPhone 9 next year: The Apple Pencil.

Sources claim that it is almost certain that Apple is working on its own version of a stylus for the iPhone, or what is dubbed for now as Apple Pencil or iPhone 9 Pencil. After all, numerous leaks have revealed that the Cupertino-based company has applied for a patent for the said phone accessory. As the supposed patent leaks show that the Apple Pencil will come in two sizes, it is now speculated that the more compact one is for the iPhone 9 while the other one could be the one that came with the iPad Pro.

While it is said that it is almost certain for the iPhone 9 to come with its own Apple Pencil, it remains unclear, though, if it will be bundled with the device or will be sold as a separate item. Either way, it is speculated that the Apple Pencil for the iPhone 9 will still warrant money for Apple as it can push the price of the iPhone 9 higher if it is bundled with it or earn from the separate sales of the accessory.

Meanwhile, apart from possibly coming with the Apple Pencil, it is also rumored that Apple may be adapting the Face ID system of the upcoming iPhone X and will completely ditch the Touch ID feature beginning with the iPhone 9. As the Face ID technology is said to be a major selling point of the iPhone X, it is speculated that there is no more reason for Apple not to go full swing with it in its future products.

While the above rumors on what the iPhone 9 will supposedly offer are nothing short of exciting, they are to be taken with a grain of salt for now as they can only be confirmed when the device is released next year.
