... so it's even less useful than a pencil, and could probably be comfortably replaced with a twisted up drinking straw?

That pen better double as a vibrator, a juicer, a potato peeler and a tool for removal of cats from refrigerators at that price.

Ahh yes the Ipad Pro, a 800 dollar fuck huge ipad. They also have a smart keyboard pad that they did not rip off from Microsoft at all.

I swear people buying these things must be really desperate or something.

... ten cents of plastic, ten cents of metal, 98.80 dollars profit. I'll give 'em this much, as ripoff artistry goes they're damn good at it.

I'd spend my life savings to get a pen like that.

...it's not a goddamned pencil it's a stylus, even though materials and assembly aren't that expensive R&D is a thing. Targeted at pros, 99 isn't that bad to cover R&D costs.

It... it's a stylus. That's identical to the various sorts of stylus that's been being built for something like literally over a decade -- I saw things that looked exactly like that, right down the metal band, in the late 90s. There... there's no R&D costs involved with this.

Unless their R&D section is the real ripoff artist in this equation, I guess.

I used to like apple when I was little, but admittedly I was using some pretty oldish apple computers. New apple is rounded expensive horseshit for fake hipsters.

Looking up the pen shows there IS some actual tech in it, like a battery and other things. But even then 99 dollars for A PENCIL no matter how you cut it is completely silly.

How do you even R&D for a stylus

it's literally just a pencil that doesn't work on paper

Corporations are like black holes, each department tries to siphon as much money as they can, due to funding being tight, and that causes funding to be even worse. Governments are like that, times ten.

Plus, like ten people will buy this.

Ah, looking at it more, it's more understandable. It's not just a stylus, it's a ludicrously overdesigned stylus that also, apparently, somehow, is powered by a battery instead of plugged into something like a sane peripheral, stuffed with all sorts of things that will happily fail within entirely too short of a period. Yeah, some R&D had to go into how to both create an engineering failure and convince people to buy it, so... kudos, I guess? I'll admit to a lil'envy at them finding their minute born suckers before I did, ha.

Why does the thing need a battery-powered stylus? Know what didn't need a fucking battery in the stylus?
