Does the Apple Pencil signify the end of Steve Jobs' legacy?

Apple has notoriously been against styluses, with Steve Jobs famously saying that “if you see a stylus, they blew it”.   In the intervening years since that comment, the firm has eaten its words and gone on to include a stylus on its own iPad Pro devices.  Now, there’s speculation that the upcoming iPhone Pro will be the first of its kind to include a stylus.

After Citi Research market analysts predicted the inclusion of a stylus to the soon to be released iPhone, third-party accessory maker Olixar has already designed a case with a little compartment that houses the Apple Pencil.

The description on the website of UK retailer MobileFun reads:

Crafted from premium genuine leather, this exquisite black case from Olixar for the iPhone 11 Pro provides stunning style and prestigious protection for your phone in a slim and sleek package, with the added convenience of an Apple Pencil sleeve.

While this may not be enough to confirm anything, the company has a reputation when it comes to correctly predicting upcoming phone designs.

If you’re willing to take a gamble and purchase the case ahead of the official iPhone Pro announcement next month, you can buy it here for £19.99 in black, brown or grey.
