Steve Jobs May Have Hated The Idea Of A Stylus, But Apple Just Made One

Steve Jobs might be pretty pissed if he knew Apple was getting back into the stylus game.

Today's Apple special event unveiled the iPhone 6S, a more modern Apple TV system and the iPad Pro.

They can't all be winners, though, since Apple also wants you to consider adding the Apple Pencil, a stylus meant to add dynamic value to how one uses certain Apple devices, to your collection of Apple-branded things.

The funny thing is, in 2007, Steve Jobs openly mocked the idea of a stylus at an event just like this one.

The Internet is just as confused as you are as to why Apple would consider bringing back computer pencils in 2015.
