The Apple Pencil’s little brother - Yanko Design

Unveiled at Apple'due south education event, Logitech'due south new iPad stylus is meant to be used in schools. Very aptly named the Crayon (being indicative of the fact that it'south for the younger schoolhouse-going generation as opposed to the Apple tree Pencil, meant for professionals), the stylus is colorful, sleek, and plays the perfect piddling sibling to the Apple tree Pencil.

The Logitech Crayon comes forth with Apple's announcement to build more school-friendly iPads. The Crayon works with all new iPads (except the Pro), and is meant for students to take notes. It doesn't need pairing as the Apple Pencil does, which means a teacher with a Crayon could too go effectually checking and correcting notes on unlike iPads with the aforementioned Crayon.

The Crayon doesn't come with pressure level sensitivity, which makes sense because it isn't for artists, but does bending-sensing and palm-rejection rather well. Where it truly beats the Apple tree Pencil (bated from the fact that it doesn't demand pairing) is in the fact that it comes with an on-off push (allowing you to utilise information technology only when you need it) and can last for up to 8 hours (perfect for a day of school) on a unmarried charge. Unlike the Apple Pencil, the Crayon sports a lightning port at its base of operations, assuasive it to be charged via cable… a highly sensible move given how counter-productive and frustrating charging the Apple tree Pencil is. Lastly, it ditches the circular design for something more flat, making it non only piece of cake to grip, just also less likely to roll off desks.

Built with a 3-twelvemonth warranty and priced at $49 (one-half the toll of the Apple Pencil), the Crayon will be only available as a part of the education bundle in schools and isn't going to hit the retail shelves for regular consumers. *sadface*
