I'm not sure to which movie you're referring, but the "we're going to use a pointing device we're all born with" is from the iPhone announcement:

Apple pencil isn't required for interaction with the device, unlike old resistive touchscreen devices of the Palm Pilot era, so I doubt that's the reason he's spinning.

I was referring the the movie “Steve Jobs”:

Steve Jobs : It was the stylus, John.

John Sculley : What?

Steve Jobs : I killed the Newton because of the stylus. If you're holding a stylus, you can't use the other five that are attached to your wrist. [Holds up hand, smiles]

Steve Jobs : The things we could've done together. [Walks out of the room]

John Sculley : [as the door closes] God, the things we could've done.
