That's a first: Apple now makes a stylus for the newly unveiled iPad Pro.
Apple's Phil Schiller unveiled the new $99 stylus during Wednesday's keynote event in San Francisco.

The pressure-sensitive stylus recharges via a lightning connector that connects to the iPad Pro. It's equipped with a series of sensors that can detect how you're holding it and has a specially designed nib that can also be used with your finger.

The stylus, designed for the new larger tablet, is designed to take advantage of iOS 9's new multitasking features, including split screen apps. Apple's built-in apps, including the revamped Mail and Notes, will support the new stylus and Apple has already partnered with a handful of third-parties like Adobe who are building out support for the tool for their apps.
The move is significant, given Apple founder Steve Jobs was famously against the tools that were popular on mobile devices before the first iPhone was released.
