Proving once again your delusional nature with this response. Let’s summarize the exchange:

Me: Haha - the iPencil? Seriously?

You: Yeah, but it changes the quality of the line being drawn! It’s aaaaaamazing!

Me: Omigod... for real??? That’s soooooo awesome! Sign me up for TEN! Product of the year! Not. I’m happy with the stylus I get with my Note 3.

You: Your stylus doesn’t do *anything*, it’s just a dumb stick.

Me: Not true - it has a button and some limited functionality, but just enough for a normal user to care about. Only 0.1% of users - artists - are going to give a crap about the iStylus’s AWESOME ability to change the quality of the line.

You: YOUR STYLUS HAS NO FUNCTIONALITY! YOU CAN’T PROVE IT DOES!

Me: Uh... there’s a button right on it.

You: YEAH BUT YOU HAVEN’T PROVED IT CAN CHANGE THE QUALITY OF THE LINE BEING DRAWN! ADMIT THAT IT DOESN’T!

Me: Uh...

You’re right. It doesn’t do the thing I mocked about the iPen earlier. You got me.

(You’re a sick, sick man.)

(You’re a sick, sick man.)

Personal insults and ad hominem attacks after a lot of blather still avoiding a direct answer about exactly WHAT your Samsung S Pen can do besides draw a simple line and tick boxes to make selections. I've challenged you to do so and you've danced around avoiding answering. . . and made insults and thrown spit wads. You obviously can't answer.

Now you make up a fictional discourse between us in which, of course, you look like the sane one. . . but you are not. YOU are the one who refuses to answer questions while I have been forthcoming with truthful responses. Yours are based on your delusional biased opinions, with no facts to back them presented with loads of snark.

What does your vaunted button do? You still have not answered. I've asked you politely to tell us what it does that cannot be done without the stylus button. PLEASE? I have not said your stylus has no functionality, I have said I can find no functionality for the damn button that affects the stylus's drawing or tapping abilities on the tablet or phone. Trust me, I've searched the web documentation of the Samsung S Pen trying to find something. The ball's in your court to show us what it is.

It certainly is nowhere nearly as functional as the new Apple Pencil:

Here's a glimpse from Apple:





Each of these lines was drawn with a single stroke of the Apple Pencil.

Jony Ive, Apple Chief Designer, explains how the Apple Pencil works

I have done graphics art for pay in the past, sometimes using a Wacom pad and stylus, which at ~$1600, will cost you 77% to 36% more than the combination of an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I can think of nothing close to $99 that can do what this Apple Pencil can do anywhere near that price point. . . or as easily with a single hand. Yet you ignorantly sit there and denigrate it as just a stylus like everyone else gives away with their phones and tablets? "Just a stylus?" Not by a long shot.
