This comic was created 3 years ago by someone who predicted the future very well. The idea is that the iPad Pro with stylus (Pencil) and keyboard cover is like Microsoft's Surface devices that were criticized by Apple fans when Microsoft released them. Now Apple has released a similar device, Apple fans love it.

And these kind of images pretty much always pop up when Apple releases new products. Some argue that Apple fans are so loyal to the Cupertino company that they buy anything the company releases.
