Samsung retires S Pen Air Commands because no one was using them


The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's S Pen won't have Air Commands because nobody really used them.

What that S Pen won't have anymore is Air Commands, because it turns out barely anyone bothered with them. In a briefing, Samsung representatives told members of the media that less than one percent of customers with an S Pen bothered using Air Commands.
