Oh please, a stylus worked better on my old 3.5 inch PDA than any stupid touch gestures do for my 4.7 inch Android phone. Arrows on the keyboard? What the fuck are arrows?

Marketing just pushed styli (?) and hardware keyboards out, the latter is something I really miss on my phone...

heh, I have a note 4, with an integrated stylus. I love the thing. I'm more accurate and faster typing on the keyboard with it then I am with my thumbs, and it's a toss when swype style stuff guesses right. If I have to reswype a word, I would've been faster using the stylus

Aaaaand there it is.

He was talking about the iPad at the time. Further his statement was the existence of a stylus, not the necessity of it.

He specifically refers to the iPad in the actual quote. Anyone claiming otherwise is simply wrong or a revisionist, though such sorts seep out of the woodwork whenever Apple cedes prior claims, rephrasing and adding unspoken criteria to somehow make it prescient and relevant, seen throughout this discussion.

No, the quote is from the first iPhone presentation. He did say something similar though when they unveiled the iPad.
