Flashback to 2010. Asked about what he thought would work in the emerging computer tablet market, Steve Jobs famously replied: "If you see a stylus, they blew it.".

Fast forward to 9 September 2015 and Apple's launch of the iPad Pro - a giant-sized, turbo-charged tablet that it hopes will reinvigorate flagging iPad sales.

What accessory have Apple's team made available to support the target market for the iPad Pro? The Apple Pencil.
