We've heard the rumor that the Galaxy Note 9's new S Pen could very well be its standout feature, but we didn't yet have any (realistic) ideas of just what that might entail — until now.
According to prolific leaker IceUniverse , the new S Pen is set to receive a Bluetooth upgrade, allowing it to do much more than just write on the Galaxy Note 9's screen.
It's believed the S Pen's new Bluetooth functionality will enable it to control your music (we imagine the stylus' button will be used to pause and skip tracks) and be used as a long-range self-timer, which would be especially handy for taking group photos from a distance.
Along with the S Pen's reported Bluetooth functionality, the Galaxy Note 9 is also rumored to include a massive 4,000mAh battery and some truly powerful specs, as well as what appears to be a very a similar design to last year's Galaxy Note 8.
We'll know more in the coming weeks, as the Galaxy Note 9's launch date has now been confirmed for August 9, 2018.
All the Galaxy Note devices up to this point had digitizers that powered the S Pen's input. If actualized, how does this rumor impact usage?

Having pinched the idea from Snapchat, Instagram has been pushing its temporary Stories feature as a way of sharing parts of your day that aren't suitable for a fully filtered permanent post. Now it seems like Stories are going to get even more prominent.
As spotted by The Verge, the app is now testing a fixed Stories pane at the top of the feed, which stays in place as you scroll. If your friends have posted something in the last 24 hours, then you're certainly going to know about it – tapping through to view the photos and videos is the only way to get relief.
At the moment the Stories bubbles appear at the top of the feed and then between certain posts lower down as you scroll, if you don't watch them straight away. The change would make the feature a fixed part of the interface.
The new permanent Stories bar certainly isn't available to everyone yet and may not ever roll out. Instagram told The Verge that it tests tweaks to the app all the time, and these tests don't always make it out to all of Instagram's millions of users.
Still, it's evidence of just how important the new Stories format has become in the world of social media sharing. Having first found success on Snapchat, it's since been adopted by Instagram and Facebook as a less pressured way of letting friends know what you're up to – a temporary option that doesn't need quite so much curation.
No doubt something else will be along to replace the Stories format eventually, as surely as Facebook replaced MySpace. In the meantime, get ready to see more of the Stories posted by your friends and family, at least in Instagram.
