OK, you cannot use an iOS device with a pressure sensitive stylus, unless it's an active electronic stylus - that is to say one with batteries and a data connection of some kind to the device (Bluetooth, plugged into the headphone jack, ect)
A non-powered non-capacitive stylus cannot interface with an iOS Screen, as their screens only accept capacitive touch, and capacitive touch technology cannot be pressure sensitive.
So either you're highly mistaken, are being sold a scam, or are using something bizarre. Sorry.
And I'm not picking on iOS either - this holds true for Windows phones and 99% of android phones as well - in fact it holds true for Pretty much all devices with a capacitive touch screen, unless they have an added physical component inside the screen, which is rare and expensive and usually sourced from Wacom.

Yeah, but still ....

I don't remember this happening (although I'm assuming it was on our epic road trip to the land of cheese and grumpy prison wardens) but I just did a speed test on my laptop keyboard and typed out a section of text 100 wpm with no mistakes. I am a very fast typist, but touch screens really slow me down. I get frustrated with the touch screen ticket machines at train stations because it always takes multiple attempts to get my ticket. Why can't we have BUTTONS? I wouldn't want a Qwerty keyboard on my phone though. I got confused enough when my work phone required me to press a different button to get a space than my personal phone. I was always accidentally changing the character type instead of putting a space into the message. My texts typicallyLOOKEDLIKE8447.

This may be an equivalent. IIRC, it's gotr mixed reviews, has batteries and maybe uses a bluetooth connection with the tablet to transmit pressure readings. I've read about it in the past, but didn't review it just now.

OK, I may have exaggerated the speed, but it was impressively touch-typingly fast. I think you were dealing with your writing group.
