As noted by Creative Strategies analyst Max Weinbach, the iPhone Duo is gaining Apple Pencil support with iOS 27.2, which is expected to be released to the public next week. You can use the USB-C version of the Apple Pencil to draw, annotate, and scroll within supported apps on the iPhone Duo's inner and outer displays.
In a post on X, Weinbach confirmed that Apple Pencil support was enabled on his iPhone Duo once he installed the iOS 27.2 Release Candidate version.
Bingo.
IDK... I think his now infamous quote is often taken out of context. Or I should say, I never thought it was intended to be taken as literal as it was (and continues to be) or to have relevance this long after it was said. At the time he made that comment, Jan. 09, 2007, I always felt he was doing so for at least three reasons:
1) to take a jab at the then current slew of smart phones that leveraged goofy styli to navigate their OSes
2) to get a laugh (which he certainly did)
3) as a way to highlight the revolutionary touchscreen of iPhone
Steve was a showman, after all. And that carefully crafted line had the intended effect. At that time. Add for some, still does almost 20 yrs later. Also worth noting, Steve said LOT of things that were meant for effect rather than being literal or factual or standing the test of time. Again, he was a true showman.
Just my take.
