The iPad pro is just a Surface with some updated specs to look like the Surface Pro 4. (Btw, the Surface also comes with a stylus that doesn’t require an extra $100.)

WAKE UP and PAY ATTENTION! The Apple Pencil is NOT as simple as the stylus pen for the Microsoft Surface which only has a pressure sensitive tip. The Apple Pencil also senses angle which automatically adjusts the width of the line being drawn, while pressure adjusts the boldness of the line. Making for a much more nuanced experience. . .

I can’t think of any really worthwhile applications around drawing that will really care about the amount of pressure applied.

Better tell that to the people selling Styluses for Microsoft Surfaces. . . because that is essentially all that they sense.

Apple TV = Roku
Pencil = Stylus from any number of devices
iPad Pro = Surface
iPhone 6 = Galaxy Note

ROTFLMAO.

Roku? See Reply 31 for my answer to that absurdity.

Apple Pencil equals the stylus from any number of devices? No, not by a long shot. That's like saying power steering is the same as a tiller on a boat.

iPad Pro equals the Surface? You might be close there. Although the iPad Pro is both bigger, thinner, and lighter, with better screen resolution at 2732 x 2043 than the Microsoft Surface's 2160 x 1440, the iPad Pro is also less expensive than the Microsoft offering even in the 4G Cellular versions at MSRP.

iPhone 6 (sic) = Samsung Galaxy Note. Too funny. Last year's iPhone 6 Plus was already mopping the floor on Bench mark speed tests against all comers except multi-core including the Galaxy Note models. The only thing they beat the iPhone on was size of screen. . . and Apple certainly beat them in the market. Samsung lost both profits and market share not only to Apple but to Xiaomi and other companies. The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are 70% FASTER in processing power and 90% faster in graphic processing power than last year's iPhones that already were kicking sand in the faces of all the Android competition. . . before Apple introduced their new A9 processor. Apple was copying nothing from the failed Samsung Galaxy Note series. Zip, nada, nothing.
