Perhaps you should ask someone to hold your stick in a hand and touch the screen with your tip (chances are you already tried and it didn't work, in that case I can only advise you to get a proper measurement of the resistance between your tip and the rest of the stick) | |

A spoon (insulated from the hand) is not registered by an iPhone while it works with various Android smartphones. And the stick itself is not that small (see photo in linked question) so it is registered by the same Android devices | |

According to this answer small objects (like a carrot or a conductive stylus) don't produce an effect on iPhone touchscreen unless grounded or held by humans (with skin contact). | |
| Oct 22, 2015 at 9:33 | comment | added | Evgeni | I accounted for the fact that there is no conductive path between the stick and my skin, and tested if the capacitance of the stick itself is sufficient. It appears to be so, because it is possible to touch the screen with the bare metal of the stick which will produce an appropriate reaction. | |
