It's not a mere dead stick "stylus" used just to touch a screen, but a sophisticated electronic device that controls the width and flow of the line being drawn on the screen. It is far more than a dead stylus. Its electronics interact with the electronics of the iPad Pro to do much more than a mere stylus ever could. You need to see the demos to even begin to grasp what it can do that a stylus could never begin to do.
I think Steve Jobs was concerned you needed a stylus to do basic functions like you saw on the Palm Treo and Windows Mobile of circa 2007—a terrible idea in my opinion. Even on the Samsung Galaxy Note series, most of its functions don’t need the included stylus. Jobs never objected to using a stylus for very specialized functions like a drawing or note-taking program.
My son was using the credit card gadget at a country grocery and asked the young, dolled-up cashier if she had a stylus.
The cashier blushed and said, “A stylist, who, me”?
