For me the Surface Pen is better for a couple of reasons. Whether that involves wireless drawing power from the iPhone, magnetically attaching the Pencil to draw power, or some other method remains to be seen, but the Lightning connector needs to go.I’ll bite as I own both. I can’t imagine Apple wants iPhone users sticking Apple Pencils into the bottom of their thousand-dollar devices, so a new charging method is sorely needed. Samsung’s uses inductive charging to power up its S Pen while its docked, while Apple has a somewhat inelegant Lightning connector hidden under its cap that pugs into the iPad’s port. The S Pen on the Galaxy Note 9 automatically charges when it’s put back in its slot.īut the bigger issue is charging.

Apple on the other hand uses Bluetooth on the Pencil for enhancing drawing and tracking, functions that work well on a tablet but are less important on a phone, even a 6.5-inch one. Now you can click the button to do simple tasks such as snapping a pic or advancing a slide, which actually comes in handy more often than you’d think.

With the Galaxy Note 9, Samsung finally added full Bluetooth support to the S Pen for controlling actions on the screen. Put the S Pen back and the menu disappears. As soon as you eject your S Pen, a menu of options appear to let you quickly create a note, translate something or take a screenshot with just a tap. A perfect example of this is the Air Command menu.

Basically, you need to be able to carry it without thinking about it, and the current Apple Pencil is far from that. And shedding a couple grams from its weight wouldn’t hurt either. Rumors have suggested that the Apple Pencil 2 might be receiving a pocket clip, which would help, but mainly it needs to be closer in size to an actual pencil than a giant paintbrush. The iPhone-compatible Apple Pencil doesn’t need to be quite as small and thin as the S Pen, but it does need to be much more holdable than the current Pencil. As it stands, the Apple Pencil is significantly larger than most regular pens, and using it on anything smaller than the 9.7-inch iPad is awkward.

If Apple was adding a slot for a stylus on the next iPhone, that’s probably something we’d know by now, but it could still emulate the S Pen’s Note integration with a little Apple ingenuity.įirst and foremost, it needs to be smaller. That probably won’t be the case with the iPhone. Thanks to a small slot at the far right of the bottom of the phone, the S Pen is always just a click away, ready to be ejected and used at a moment’s notice. The Galaxy Note S Pen is dwarfed by the Apple Pencil.įor one, it’s always with you. Samsung has always positioned its flagship phablet as the ultimate productivity device, and the S Pen is the biggest reason for that.

Coupled with touch and proper OS integration, the S Pen has been a great addition to the Note, and this year’s model only ups the ante with Bluetooth support. Steve Jobs might have dismissed the notion of an iPhone with a stylus, but we’ve come a long way since 2007.
