According to the "Korean Herald" reported that Apple is "considering" the introduce iPhone models that compatible stylus in 2019, it’s believed to be a new iteration of the Apple Pencil, which is currently only supported by the iPad Pro. Industry sources said Apple's engineers "have recently been working" on new iPhone, the device will feature with a digital pen, and is expected to be launched in 2019.

The sources said the iPhone stylus is likely to adopt a "supercapacitor stylus type" for price benefits, contrasting with Samsung's Galaxy Note pen which is based on electromagnetic resonance technology that needs additional panel components to be installed underneath the smartphone display. The so-called supercapacitor type is cheaper to make compared to the EMR stylus. It also offers a more pen-like feel."

Sources say Apple engineers have recently been working on a new iPhone that comes with a digital pen.

“Apple is preparing to launch the phone as early as 2019,” an industry source told The Investor on condition of anonymity. “It is also in talks with a couple of stylus makers for a partnership.”

The report also suggests that Apple plans to ‘drastically upgrade’ the A-series chip to better support handwriting recognition. It claims that Apple was not able to do this on the upcoming iPhone X. The Apple Pencil launched nearly two years ago in November 2015 alongside the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it give user feel of using a real pen or pencil with sensors that determine the orientation and angle of AP.

There are also multiple patents for the idea, the most recent of a patent report did appear to illustrate a smaller version of the Pencil which might be easier to use with an iPhone. Focusing on handwriting recognition also seems logical for a screen size better suited to writing and annotation than to drawing.
