Another great conversation on MacRumors.
But anyway, I am sure those who want to use the pencil to sketch out ideas etc will buy one (like me) and those who just need to use their 10 fingers wont. Quite simple.
Please watch the original iPhone launch to understand what Jobs was talking about. I have no doubt he would support the pencil if it could be implemented well. The same argument applies with the iPad Pro.
A firm I used to work for back in 2017 stocked those pens with capacitive tips at the end of the cap in meeting rooms, which made them a stylus. I have a few of them probably under the couch or whatever.
They’re cool for the first 5 minutes. You’ll use it to browse up and down safari, draw some male genitalia (corporate fun!) and forget about it forever because it’s unnecessary on the iPhone.
Steve was talking about devices where you HAD to use the stylus in order to interact with it - some of the other early smartphones were this way, as were all of the PalmPilots. His point was that if you needed to take out a stylus in order to work, the device was bad. That would not be the case with an iPhone that lets you optionally use a stylus, just as it isn't the case with the iPads. Did you not know this, or are you ignoring it in order to get in your dig at Apple?Sorry, Steve![]()

You people need to stop pedalling this tripe. That is not what Steve said. Whilst the landscape has changed, the naysayers have a point.Really isn't the same thing because you don't use the Apple Pencil to navigate the UI and do everything, its an accessory mostly for drawling. What Steve was talking about there was a stylus used to navigate the UI.

Watch and learn.
He never said how are we going to navigate this, he said "how are we going to communicate this".
You know what's a joke? The apple Newton yet every apple fan will say apple invented the pocket computer.
I wish people would let go of Steve Jobs’ statements. If Apple had stayed in 2007 they’d be out of business in 2019. Times change. Nothing stays the same.
What changed? It's 2019 and iPhones still don't have pencil support. Apple doesn't seem to be out of business.
Are you saying Apple will be out of business before the end of the year if they don't announce pencil support for iPhones? What a ride this is going to be...
That was 12 years ago! Things have moved on a lot since then.If Jobs was still around, i doubt that he would be stuck in the past.Now is the time for Apple Pencil support.
No. Not really. The Surface looks more like the original iPad than the iPad Pro looks like the Surface. What a silly thing to say.You mean iPad Pro clone of the Microsoft Surface?

Anyway, I still miss Graffiti on my Handspring. Still think I could write faster that way than I can
Sorry, Steve![]()
You were implying the magnetic clip on pen which the Microsoft Surface had long before the iPad Pro. Even the looks of the iPad Pro, like the flat edge, looks more like the Surface than previous iPads. Just admit you're wrong on both counts.
