SAN FRANCISCO — As it nears a size and scope never before approached by a technology company, Apple is doing things its executives said it never would
.
Apple’s
co-founder, Steven P. Jobs, once announced that using a stylus with a
computing device was passé. But guess what? The company is now offering a
stylus, called Apple Pencil, for $100.
And in a move sure to make Apple old-timers squirm, the newest version of the iPad,
which has an optional keyboard that attaches to the tablet, is even
imitating some of the features of Microsoft’s competing product, called
the Surface.
Together,
the tablet, stylus and keyboard make for a combination computing device
that Apple executives had long said that they wouldn’t create, perhaps
indicating the people running the company today are willing to forget
about the past as they try to cater to shifting consumer tastes.by
