Apple's annual hardware launch event
took place in California yesterday, with the release of two new versions
of its current iPhone 6 design – the iPhone 6s and the larger 6s Plus
–as well an Apple Watch collaboration with luxury fashion brand Hermès,
which reinforces Apple's desire to position its smartwatch as a luxury
product rather than a gadget.
It also revealed a larger version of
its tablet computer, called the iPad Pro – described by Apple CEO Tim
Cook as "the most capable and powerful iPad ever created".
But the only entirely new product reveal of the launch was the first
official stylus from Apple, the Apple Pencil. The Pencil is designed to
be used with the larger iPad, which is aimed at professional artists and
designers.
The devices are so huge that people started making funny memes. See them below...
