Apple has officially scrapped plans to include a dedicated stylus for its upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra, citing significant design and integration challenges discovered during the prototyping phase.
Internal reports indicate that the company tested the accessory for over six months, but ultimately decided that the stylus compromised the structural integrity of the foldable display.
The iPhone Ultra is still scheduled for a September 2026 launch, with the company focusing its R&D efforts on enhancing the device's hinge durability and battery efficiency instead.
