This should’ve been a footnote on the Duo keynote, not a follow-up.

Foldables that half-ship accessories always frustrate early adopters.

USB-C Pencil later this year = Duo ships incomplete for artists. Harsh but fair.

Artists will wait for Pencil support reviews anyway.

I assumed Pencil day-one. Timing note is important.

If it’s a new Pencil SKU, price stack on a $1999 phone is brutal.

Still buying Duo; Pencil can wait if multitasking is strong.

Drawing on a foldable crease still worries me more than the connector.

USB-C standardization is good; proprietary tips were tired.

Confirm whether older USB-C Pencil works or it’s a new radio/protocol.

Maybe they’re waiting on hinge durability data before promoting stylus use.

USB-C Pencil also helps people who already bought the new one for iPad.

October Duo + later Pencil = two hype cycles. Clever, annoying.

I’d rather have excellent finger gestures than a rushed stylus.

Later this year could mean holiday — vague on purpose.

Does ‘support’ mean hover + pressure or just basic mark-up?

Note-taking on Duo without Pencil at launch is a weird gap.
