Newly, analysts made a fool of themselves again as they claimed that Apple planned to launch a new cheap iPad for education. Nothing is further from the truth, since the guys from Cupertino have presented a new iPad, which although it is true is aimed at education, its price for the general public is 349 euros.
One of the main novelties that Apple has presented to us at this event It is a kind of Apple Pencil cheaper than the original. We are talking about the Logitech Crayon, a stylus that shares many features with the Apple Pencil. If you were thinking of running to buy it, you should bear in mind that it is only compatible with the 6th generation iPad, or iPad 2018, the model that was presented yesterday.
The Logitech Crayon stylus It is made of aluminum and offers us a tip similar to what we can find in the Apple Pencil, but as we can read on the manufacturer's website, Logitech, only the 6th generation iPad works, so it will not be compatible with the different iPad Pro models either, something that is especially striking.
According to the opinions of the first people who have been able to try the Logitech Crayon after the event, they affirm that the operation and latency is the same that we can find with the Apple Pencil. This stylus does not use bluetooth technology, has a battery life of up to 8 hours and can be recharged through a lightning connection. This new Logitech pencil is compatible with all applications that are currently compatible with the Apple Pencil.
As we can see from its appearance, the Logitech Crayon is aimed at a younger audience, with a more resistant design against possible falls, something that is easily avoided since it is not completely round like the Apple Pencil. The upper part of the Logitech Crayon hides the lightning connection to plug in the cable, so we will not be able to charge it directly with the iPad as we can with the iPad Pro.
Man friends…. The business had to be protected. How could we freely use a Stylus like Apple's but at half the price? No kidding .
That's why we let Logitech take something very limited to protect the savage price of the Apple Pencil that is sure to be compatible with all models.
Hello, it will be cheaper but much less practical, than the appel one is only valid for a specific model ipad 6 generation, not even for the 5 generation (2017). With which I do not think they sell much more than the iPad Pencil and that already sells little ... and this is valid for iPad 6 generation and for the iPad Pro. For the others it is not worth it ... we have more of the same.
