That doesn't render pens obsolete at all. A pen can be used to write on many surfaces and in many different situations. There are jobs where you can't have your phone let alone a tablet, but you can bring a pen and notepad!
Sure a pen will run out of ink, but so will the batteries in the iPad. Sure you can charge the iPad but you need software updates and every few years most will want the new model and that is far more expensive than replacing a bottle of ink every year or so.
Then you have things like tactile feedback which iPads simply cannot do as well as the real world does by default.
Finally, I Can't think of something stupider to get excited about than the cast shadow which your tool is causing. Never mind that the shadow is not real, but it doesn't even serve a functional purpose. It is purely aesthetic.
The argument that this renders fountain pens obsolete is as fake as the shadow that the apple pen casts on the iPad.
