iPhone Duo : Apple a mis dix-neuf ans à donner tort à Steve Jobs
The shift in approach, however, deserves to be put into perspective for a simple reason: there's no obligation to use a stylus. What Jobs criticized was the mandatory stylus, a crutch for poorly designed interfaces that required a piece of plastic to target a three-millimeter box. Apple is talking about taking notes, sketching an idea, or annotating a document. Navigation, on the other hand, remains touch-based.
This about-face is actually in line with the company's tradition. In 2010, Jobs deemed 7-inch tablets "dead on arrival"; the iPad mini was released two years later. In 2007, he asserted that web applications would suffice; the App Store opened eighteen months after. The man changed his mind as quickly as he made decisions, which is rather to his credit. Tim Cook, and John Ternus today, also seem keen on evolving Apple with the times, even if it means contradicting their predecessor's firm positions.
The real reservation lies elsewhere, and it's technical. Only the USB-C version of the stylus is supported, due to the lack of a magnetic surface to accommodate the Pencil Pro. Pressure sensitivity, double-tap, and haptic feedback are absent; only tilt detection remains. Furthermore, the function will not be active at launch but will be available "later this year."
