Choosing one or the other could put a huge damper on innovation and choice of products "Made for Apple" over time.2) IF there was a company that I would suggest Apple purchasing in the "stylus" category it would be Wacom. I don't just think Paper is the best drawing app on iPad, I think it's one of the best apps, period.I don't agree with your idea of Apple purchasing this company at all, regardless of my huge respect for '53' product(s).1) I think you have to consider that a large part of Apple's ecosystem is made of developers and accessory manufacturers, and supporting any and all of them in any way they can to put out these great products for Apple devices. And God knows what new great ideas that talented group are working on. I couldn't think of a better way for Apple to spend $100M. Heck, they could even bring down the price of Pencil to $30+ given the numbers they could sell.These guys are too talented to let Facebook snap them up.The support provided by Wacom is still lacking, and not all that creditworthy regardless of platform you're using IMO. Considering that the majority of pros use a Mac, this is an easy accessory to sell to them in the Apple Store if it was Apple branded and supported. Photo doodler to retoucher should have a Wacom tablet.Take Pencil and open its feature set up to all drawing/painting apps (or at least those that willingly add support for it) and I foresee a lot more demand in it's future. Like I said, it's great for sketching quick ideas and while many people might use it for more than that, the toolset and the "notebook" theming of the UI kind of suggest sketching is what its for. That's fine and some are well worth it, but if 53 can produce a stylus like this for as cheap as it is, why not just open it's features up to all drawing apps? They would sell like hotcakes…limiting it to just Paper is…well…limiting.Not everyone uses Paper or uses it for more serious artwork. First of all, all new BT styli (is that the proper pluralization?) seem to have a minimum asking price of $100 these days. :embarrassI love Paper…and use it regularly for sketching quick ideas (I like Procreate better for more in-depth illustration/digital painting), but my big gripe here is the Pencil accessory. I'm surprised it's not common-place and accepted in America by now, judging by the weight gain of it's populace over the years.Seems like a no-brainer to me. If it works as well as those two styli, then I would definitely buy an extra as a backup for when the first is charging. One could buy two graphite Pencils for the price of one Adonit Jot Touch or Wacom Intuos Creative stylus.
