Small stylus for iPhone

[everex]

Hi all,

Has anyone purchased or used a short stylus that works with iPhone? I have seen many stylus in Lzd/Shpee, but all of them are mentioned works with iPad or android devices, nothing specifically for iPhones.

Even better if there is an iPhone case that can accommodate hiding a short stylus. I like iPhone, and also want stylus functionality.

Thanks in advance.

My finger is the best stylus and also agreed by Steve Jobs. So no.

Edit: I’m not being an ass to OP. Just quoting Steve jobs.

Drawing sketches, signing docs, still better with stylus. Not everyone’s use case.

You try and let me know how the stylus works with iPhone. I tried before with Apple Pencil and the iPhone screen just won’t pick up any inputs.

Which is why I think TS is asking for recommendations ma.

Those capacitive stylus that looks similar to Apple pencil but costs less than $20 work ok with iPhone. But they are too long, am looking for a shorter version. I’m not sure if the Moto stylus works well with iPhone. I understand Samsung S pen will not, but I haven’t tried this yet.

Yes I have that, but not good for sketching as the rubber is too big for detailed drawing.

I would say not a lot, but just good to have it.

Actually, would be great for 3rd party accessory sellers to come up with a case for iPhone that comes with an embedded short stylus. So the iPhone becomes an “ultra”.

Then Apple will tell you to head over to Samsung instead.
Jokes aside, those cheap cheap 3rd party ones, have you tried them?

Yes, they’re good enough but too long. I haven’t seen a short one that is good.

Perhaps can try Taobao?

Why would Apple ask customers to do that?

this is an alternative. might be "better" because you can see through the clear piece. but also more prone to missing or damaged hence got the cap

but if you think about it, it may not be demand hence they don't.

ya lor. they will say if you want to draw get an ipad with pencil

Or asked to buy iPad instead, there's Apple Pencil.
Totally forgotten about iPad.

Yes, since there's iPad for users that is looking for such purpose.
But for OP, that is looking for iPhone size but with stylus, not applicable. hahahaha
