I owned a note...almost never used the S Pen and when I did, the functions didn’t work because of software problems.
Got a tip for us?

Your follow-up makes no sense.
Buying a Note 9 has nothing to do with FFR's comment.
To break down simply, if a company sees something is not selling, there is a potential it will be dropped.
This means the "consumer" cannot buy it.
Has nothing to do with what you are holding on to.

What's pathetic and shameless is the line of thinking used in this post.
Samsung copied virtually everything that is in their phones and Samsung, like apple, improved on certain aspects in their own way. Oled been around for 1987, stylus for 50 years etc. Bezeless, trend started by Sharp etc. Operating system, created by google.
I may not ever use the apple pencil, but I wouldn't create this mythical universe of "sycophats", people who idolize the SPEN, even if they have never taken it out. I'll bet, you can't even name one person(aka "apple apologist'), who did what you claim. Post reeks of much cognitive dissonance.
So some innuendo until it's proven, vs. http://time.com/4526350/samsung-galaxy-note-7-recall-problems-overheating-fire/ Got it.
Go back and read again.
If they decide to drop the future phones, how does that affect the consumer now?
McDonald's has served billions but it doesn't mean I would eat there.
Galaxy Note is for professionals and creators which is a smaller community than amateurs.
Yeah, they'd have to build a housing in the device for me to use it. Even then, I've found my handwriting has gotten so atrocious I can't even read it later, so I don't use the Apple Pencil on my iPad. If I can't draw and I can't read my writing, what's the point?
I'd never use it on a phone. I am sure some would, however.
You sound just like the ex-BlackBerry fanatics.
BlackBerry is for professionals not amateurs....

Of course I’m making an assumption here that if someone back in 2007 had asked him for stylus support on the next iPhone, he would’ve given that person a “special look” and said no. I think it’s highly likely and I’m sure so do you. However, we’re not really talking about then, but what he would’ve done now if he was still alive. I think there’s a fair chance he would’ve reluctantly agreed...or maybe not so reluctantly since it wasn’t wise to always buy stock in what he said. Of course, I’m sure someone would’ve brought it up at a Q&A he might have attended and it would’ve been interesting to hear his answer why he changed his mind. He might have used the more advanced technology angle as you mentioned in your very plausible argument.
I would be happy to see anything you have to back this up.
Else-wise it could easily be said the Galaxy Note is for a niche group of die hard Samsung fandroids.
But you might not have to worry.
Samsung may be looking into merging the S line with the Note.
No sense having two low selling devices:
Will the Galaxy X kill Samsung’s iconic Galaxy Note phones?
One should realized it’s taken until now to get the technology to a point where it literally writes and feels like a pencil and paper. This clearly did not exist to apples liking years ago.
You go back and read what you said:
This is another time you moved the goal post.
Your original comment had no time frame of "now".
I can't give an opinion but I will make a sarcastic remark:
They can't drop the Note, its for :"professionals and creators" (which based on sales could all fit in NYC) /s

It's no longer important.
It's obvious from your responses you don't even remember what you posted.
I know what I posted, however I have no idea what your rambling on about.
As you said, it's no longer important.
Isn't it about time Apple adds Pencil support on those uncomfortably large trackpads on the MBPs? So we can use them as Wacom-esque drawing surfaces. Unlike the toy-ish Touchbar, it would actually be a 'Pro' worthy feature.
1993 just popping by to say hello
Still got mine
For me, having a stylus will be fantastic. I have been tempted to get the note recently as there are quite a few times I need to sketch / draw an idea and don’t have my ipad with me.
Ugh still trolling here I see. Sad. I love how the fansungs think they invented everything first. It’s them against the world. Just sad to see a huge company like Samsung not be able to innovate anymore. New note 9 is a joke. It’s a bigger S9 with a Bluetooth stylus.1993 just popping by to say hello
Next.

That response was to another thread from the die hard Samsung loyalist sevanw. Not you Jsameds. He loves to spew his hate towards apple.

SCHOOLED!

It’s pathetic and shameless that you have such hate toward Apple. Not everyone copies Samsung. Apple Pencil was introduced for the iPad. It would only make sense to give users OPTIONS to use maybe a smaller version on a phablet sized phone. Do you really think Samdung was the first to invent a stylus for a mobile device??? If so, you are truly delusional. Just use your Samsung and enjoy it. Why try to argue/instigate on an Apple fan site?? You aren’t winning.
I honestly don't understand the hate. For the mobile artist, a person who needs to do mobile annotations of documents, or someone who needs to do handwritten notes, this is a GODSEND. Nobody is saying to use an Apple Pencil for launching apps or surfing the internet. Some people need to settle down!
I’ve seen maybe one or two galaxy notes in my day. Never once have I seen someone using the stylus.
[doublepost=1534477598][/doublepost]
Right. I’ll be a “fanboy”. You can keep your app drawer and useless settings for all your apps and customization. That’s about the only half interesting thing on an android.
In the days of HP Palm Pilot days (without WiFi or internet) most of the stock brokers used to flash stylus in subway trains.
I have Note 8 though I don't use SPen much but when I use it, the experience is ready very smooth. The only issue of someone regularly uses stylus is that they might misplace it frequently.
Hmmm, I see. Who is copying who NOW? Love my Note 8. About time Apple folk see the light here. If Apple gets serious about a stowable iPen and fixes iOS up a bit, I might just be tempted to go back.
