Apple adopting Stylus to their new iPad may sink their reputation and uniqueness . An Acts of which tremendously contradicted Apple Co-Founder Stev Jobs ideology about Styluses.What has been going since Stev Jobs' death, shows that Stev Jobs' Ideology may lose ground on the mobile ecosystem and limits on it's device may sooner be eradicated completely if not.
One of the first things Jobs did when coming back to Apple in 1997 was to kill the Newton, a tablet-like device that used a stylus.
"God gave us 10 styluses. Let's not invent another," Jobs said about the project, according to Walter Isaacson's biography.
To be fair, back then Jobs was discussing the tiny 3.5-inch iPhone, while on Wednesday Apple introduced its stylus alongside a giant, 12.9-inch iPad. It's also a niche accessory that note-takers and artists will favor but most consumers probably won't buy.
Yet it's easy to find the humor in Apple's $99 Apple Pencil announcement on Wednesday.
Steve Jobs was a notoriously stubborn individual with strong ideas about what made Apple's products great. Sticking to his guns typically paid off dividends, even when vocal critics mocked the company's decisions.
Others didn't pay off so well: Jobs famously said he would only let Windows customers sync their iPods with their PCs "over my dead body." He did ultimately let Windows users sync their iPods -- a move that's credited with making the iPod a phenomenon.
Since Jobs' death in 2011, Apple (AAPL, Tech30) has been slowly pushing back against some of its founder's most strongly held beliefs, doing things Jobs said he would never consider.
