Giant iPad

Over recent years, Apple has organised two Autumn events to unveil its latest products. This year it packed all the news into one mammoth announcement.

A new Apple TV set top box, a refreshed iPhone and new larger iPad Pro were all unveiled.

But the focus for many was the Apple Pencil. Critics made hay of the fact that when Steve Jobs was in charge, he had seemingly mocked the idea that Apple would make a stylus for one of its i-devices.

But when the reviews came in, the add-on was widely praised as a design tool.

Whether or not it, and the larger tablet, will reverse a decline in iPad sales is still to be determined.
