Not that Apple never spoke an un-truth, but they're on the record saying that will not happen:

(They also said they would not launch a small tablet and so on...)

Which is still true, there's no stylus for the iPhone. You can buy one for the iPad Pro, which is a completely different product, just like you can buy a Wacom tablet for your Mac.

I know. My point was that Steve Jobs was extremely critical of tablets that have a stylus and said ipad won't have one ever. But they went back on that, too, like the other examples.

Ah, I was only aware of Jobs' comments about styluses in 2007, which are often quoted but not really relevant (he was talking about phones). Turns out he also brought it up in the context of the iPad:
