Even the Surface Pro 3 has pressure sensivity, don't know about angle detection. The company that MS bought for their pen technology has recently filed for patents on both, so I'd assume the next Surface Pro will have those features too. MS gives you a pen with the tablet and they charge less for a replacement - how novel!
It really is just a Surface Pro with an ARM processor and iOS, right down to the detachable keyboard/cover - and they've even got MS to make them a nice Office suite for it..

For the stylus I think it comes down to what you use the device for.
The stylus for my surface pro spent 5 minutes out the box before being put away (I would imagine for good). I can understand that if you are an artist or designer then it might be useful and I would like to here reviews from them as to how accurate/good it is.
I would hope for the price the apple one is of better quality then the MS version.
Samsung have already told us that few people use a stylus which is why they dropped the note from the UK.
I think it is silly to say it is just a surface pro (unless the surface pro is just a bigger iPad) as it looks different, has different hardware and different software.
