Who wants a stylus? You gotta get them and put them away and you lose them and YUCK, no one wants a stylus!

It's a pencil, not a stylus.

Someone give me a tally of the "Steve rolling in his grave" comments at the end of this!

seriously...so old...trolls out in full force today man

 

[biscuitsxluv]

Wow, some of you guys are never happy. They come out with something new, you complain. They don't and you complain. Just shut it!

 

[amirite]

rip wacom. you guys don't realize how awesome this is..

 

[Designx]

I really like the iPad pro with the stylus - I just think it is let down by the OS. As a professional artist (painter) who has dabbled in the screen I am interested to see where this goes.

 

[bbfc]

Well this is awkward.

Tres Awks!!

 

[Illuminated]

Plot twist: Apple bought Microsoft.

 

[vintimus]

WOW. Microsoft doing a demo?? Wow.

 

[Popeye206]

Son of a ...... MS!

Steve is spinning in his grave.

Not bad though, it's taken almost four years post his death for Apple to lose it's direction and just become a manufacturer of premium versions of competitors products. Apple finally eats itself.

 

[scrap104]

Microsoft!

 

[shyam09]

$99 pencil coming up.

Too cheap ... needs to be more expensive since it caters to professionals. $150

Latest news: "Apple sues Faber Castell for patent infringement"

Kudos to them for giving props to Microsoft.

 

[Robert M.]

That audience when he said Microsoft Lol

 

[maflynn]

The SP3 stylus doesn't even need power...

Mine has batteries in it. I just unscrewed it

 

[Dmunjal]

He went back on his decisions sometimes. The stylus wasn't good for phones. He said nothing about tablets

Cue the Apple apologists. If it wasn't meant for the phone and only for tablets, why wait 5 years to do it? Because Samsung and Microsoft have been doing it for years already.

 

[thatpluslife]

this stream is getting crazier by the minute LOL

 

[pat500000]

so how much is the pencil, phil? 35 dollars?

 

[Tech198]

The proprietary Apple Pencil Sharpener will be available for $30 in December...

hehe

It's a pencil, not a stylus.

Same thing, just different name. Apple could never say the word stylus because Jobs said it was pointless.

 

[amirite]

He has ONE chance to shout MICROSOFT ROOLZ APPLE DROOLZ and run off the stage laughing maniacally. I can see it in his eyes. He's going to do it.

 

[calisurfboy]

I want Ives to do a video about Charmin Toilet paper. I think it would be interesting for him to ramble on about the quality of the stitching, the numerous layers for comfort, and how function and aesthetics converge in your bathroom.

Coming in 2016... Samsung Pencil

Sorry - what? Perhaps you've heard of the note?

Apple Pencil sounds like some kind of parody.

Also, I really don't think this can be anymore like surface pro.

Steve "bashed" the stylus because he was creating a differentiator for his product. Nothing more, nothing less. Some people put way too much weight into what is said through marketing and PR and what someone actually believes. If Apple had a product that was blue and their competitors were red, then we would hear them talk about the studies they've done to show how blue is the ultimate color...
