The stylus is interesting in that it's a total about-face for Apple. So far as I can tell, no Apple store has ever stocked an iPhone- or iPad-compatible stylus -- not the cheap capacitive ones nor even the iPad-exclusive pressure-sensitive Wacom stylus for artists, despite stocking Wacom tablets.

And you're deliberately misinterpreting that keynote. Unlike the devices that basically were on the market, you don't need a stylus to navigate the OS or use the device at all.
- jcl 11y agoAh, I wasn't aware of this. Looks like it was first stocked in Apple stores in January (despite it and other styluses being available well before): http://www.macrumors.com/2015/01/21/pencil-available-apple-stores/ http://www.macrumors.com/2015/01/21/pencil-available-apple-s... I guess I hadn't asked in a store since then. :)
