Markii ay Apple si rasmi ah u soo bandhigtay qalinka Apple, isticmaaleyaal badan ayaa xasuustay ereyadii Steve Jobs markii uu soo bandhigayay Iphone-ka, ereyo uu ku sheegay stylus wuxuu ahaa wax la soo dhaafay (si fiican u dhig). Si dhakhso ah, qaar badani waxay ahaayeen adeegsadayaashii xaqiijiyey in qalinka Apple uusan wax lug ah ku lahayn stylus-ka dhaqameed, wax ay iyagu ahaayeen kuwo gabi ahaanba sax ah maaddaama stylus-ka dhaqameed uusan na siin dhibco cadaadis oo kala duwan si aan u awoodno inaan u qabanno shaqo kasta oo u baahan ugu badnaan saxsanaanta, laakiin kaliya ayaa noo ogolaatay inaan gujino xulashooyinka yaryar ee Windows Mobile ay noogu soo bandhigeen PDA-yada.
Dhowr sano ka dib markii ay si rasmi ah u soo bandhigtay qalabkeeda iPad Pro, ragga ka socda Cupertino ayaa hadda helay diiwaangelinta patent aan ku arki karno sida qalabkan ayaa ku habboon iPhone. Patent-kan, oo lambarkiisu yahay 9.658.704 ayaa xaq u leh "Qalabka iyo qaababka lagu maareynayo is-dhexgalka isticmaalaha ee loo yaqaan 'stylus" wuxuu ku tilmaamayaa qalinka Apple inuu yahay mid lagu taageerayo qalabka elektarooniga ah ee leh shaashad taabasho leh hal ama in ka badan oo dareemayaal ah si loo ogaado astaamaha stylus.
Fasaxan wuxuu kaloo qeexayaa isticmaalka stylus, stylus, oo leh aalado isgaarsiineed oo la qaadan karo sida iPhone, iPod touch, iyo iPad ka faaideysashada tikniyoolajiyada is-fahamka labada dhinac ee hadda la adeegsado ee ay adeegsadaan aaladaha mobilada ee Apple. Intaas waxaa sii dheer, qoraalka patent-ka wuxuu si xoogan u muujinayaa in mustaqbalka Apple stylus uu la shaqeyn karo noocyo kale oo codsiyo ah sida kuwa hadalka ku shaqeeya, waraaqo-xaashiyeedyo, ciyaaro, daalacashada internetka, sawir-ka-habeynta, emayllada….
Qalab loo adeegsaday aalad u eg iPhone-ka ayaa si cad loogu muujiyay mid ka mid ah sawirada patent-ka ah ee lagu daray. Shatigan waxaa la soo bandhigay bishii Sebtember 2015, oo ay la socdaan magacyada injineerada Apple Jeffrey Traer Bernstein, Linda L. Dong, Mark K. Hauestein iyo Julian Missig oo ah hal abuureyaashooda. Ahaanshaha patent-ka macnaheedu maaha in Apple ugu dambayntii uu bilaabayo stylus loogu talagalay iPhone-ka, laakiin ugu yaraan waxay u muuqataa in fikraddu ay mar hore ku sii faafayso maskaxda ragga ka soo jeeda Cupertino.
