Hi Ricardo, The touch screen on an iPhone is a "capacitive touch screen" which does not react to the moisture in your skin but to electrical conductivity. Skin and the human body as a whole is conductive. A stylus is made from material which transfer the conductivity of your finger/body through the material of the stylus to the touch screen. This is the same principal as is found in touch screen friendly gloves which also exist and it is also the same as when I put my iPhone into a zip lock bag so I can use my recipe app in the kitchen and use it with fingers that are greasy, wet, full of flour etc. After all, you can still use your phone when it's in a Lifeproof case which covers the screen with a relatively thick piece of plastic.

Hi, I doubt that stylus would work on your iPhone. The screen on the iPhone does not respond to pressure but, the moisture in your skin.

Never occurred to me to try using a stylus on my iPhone. I have one from my Maestro/Trekker PDA and I suppose anytime a single finger tap, drag or touch is in order the stylus might well serve in lieu of my own digit. But now, how can I handle 2 or 3 styla at a time for those other times?
