Reply to comment by JamesRustleford in An iPhone Apple Pencil was scrapped at the last minute, leaker claims by CatDaddyJudeClaw

He was right about a stylus being a lousy primary input device, but the success of the Galaxy Note has proven that there is utility in having a stylus for certain things. I’d love one for notes and annotation, as fat-fingering a drawing just doesn’t work well.

Yep. So many people completely misunderstood that the stylus at the time he was talking about was before capacitive touchscreens.

Capacitive touchscreens still are still infinitely better than the stylus-based devices like Palm Pilots at the time.

Agreed. I loved my Note and used it’s stylus pretty much daily.

Jobs was right about one thing though, I lost it on more than one occasion.
