Steve Jobs: Why have a pencil? You lose them, misplace them, yuk! We're already born with ten styluses(wiggles fingers)

(years later)

Apple: We shall give Steve Jobs a big middle finger by introducing an overpriced pencil for $100.

Oh, so clever. A classic example of the things pseudo-nerds would say

As far as I know that's the original iPhone being talked about , it was introduced when clicking on a screen with your finger didn't work well because resistive touch screens were the main technology used in devices that used a touchscreen. No one uses a stylus to interact with their smartphones nowadays, Apple killed the stylus as we knew it back then and replaced it effectively with our fingers. The new Apple stylus isn't used to interact with your device. It has its own purpose and its own apps that is aimed at a device with a 10 inches larger screen.
