During the presentation of the iPad 2018, also called sixth generation, the guys from Cupertino presented with Logitech the Crayon, the affordable Apple Pencil that It costs $ 49,99 for the $ 99,99 Apple Pencil and that according to the company is only compatible with the iPad 2018. This stylus is intended solely and exclusively for schools and educational centers.
Both Apple and Logitech have no plans, at least initially put it on sale through their stores, so that you will only be able to get it if you are a teacher at an educational center or a student. The launch of the Logitech Crayon was scheduled for this summer, but it seems that the plans have been advanced, something that does not usually happen with the new products that the company announces.
In the absence of testing, according to the Logitech firm, the Logitech Crayon is compatible with most of the functions of the Apple Pencil, but not with all. We also do not know if it will be compatible with the iPad Pro or with the rest of the iPad available on the market that are not part of the Pro family, such as the 9.7, 10.5 and 12.9-inch models.
The Logitech Crayon is the first digital pen designed for the new iPad and leverages the technology found in Apple Pencil to deliver sub-pixel precision, low latency, and tilt support in a student-friendly design. IPad features palm rejection technology and can differentiate between Logitech Crayon and a hand resting on the screen so students can write and draw naturally, just as they would with traditional pencil and paper .
In the description of the Logitech Crayon available on their website, we see how the pressure sensitive function is not available, a function that the Apple Pencil offers us. The Apple Pencil with an educational discount remains at $ 89, while the Crayon does not have any type of discount since it is only available for educational centers. If we want to get one, we will have to resort to eBay, where it is more than likely that they will soon begin to be available.
