Logitech has debuted a new version of its ‘Crayon’ stylus pen that is compatible with the new iPad models from Apple. Apple recently confirmed the launch of a series of new entry-level iPads for individuals on a budget or for those who don’t need all of the added features that come with the newer models. Logitech’s ‘Crayon’ stylus now works with the new iPad models and comes with a USB-C charging port instead of a Lightning one.
Due to the switch from Lightning to USB-C, Logitech’s ‘Crayon’ has a competitive edge over the first-generation Apple Pencil that pairs with the base iPad. Logitech’s new stylus can charge using the USB-C cable that comes with the tablet and does not require a USB-C to Lightning adapter. Consumers may also reach for the Logitech 'Crayon' instead of the Apple Pencil as the wireless second-generation Apple Pencil isn't compatible with the entry-level series.
