Along with the new iPad Pro and iPad Air, Apple launched a brand new version of its famous stylus this week. Apple Pencil Pro features new sensors allowing for haptic feedback and an impressive Barrel Roll effect. But it also appears to come with some uncharacteristically joyful packaging too.

While Apple is known for its quality packaging design, the words that come to mind are usually 'clean', 'minimal' or even 'utilitarian'. With the boxes for the last few generations of iPhones and iPads following strict formulas, you know what you're going to get – but that's notably untrue when it comes to the Apple Pencil Pro (which we can't wait for, by the way.)
