Apple's stylus can work with an iPhone, but only when you pair the right Apple Pencil model with the right iPhone model. As Engadget's guide explains, the setup is possible but not cheap, and the feature set comes with notable limitations that make it a less polished experience than using the Pencil with an iPad. For anyone tempted to use the Pencil for handwriting, drawing, or annotation on a phone, the practical takeaway is to verify compatibility first—and to be prepared for a premium-priced accessory that may only partially deliver on its promise.
