<p>A product page for the Crayon <a href="https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMGA2VC/A/logitech-crayon-for-ipad">lists</a> the stylus as working with the new iPads, as well as 2018’s “budget” iPad. It’s incompatible with 2018 iPad Pros, however.</p>
<p>The Crayon shares some features of the Pencil, such as automatic connection, palm rejection, and pressure sensitivity. Its main feature though is its price: $69.95, almost $30 less than the first-generation Pencil, and over $59 less than the second-gen model. The latter is intended for iPad Pros only.</p>
<p>Missing from the Crayon are tilt functions or the ability to tap its side for selecting different modes.</p>
<p>The Crayon was <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/03/27/logitech-coming-out-with-49-crayon-stylus-for-ipad-new-case-keyboard-combo">originally launched a year ago</a> as an education-only product. It took several months for sales to <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/09/06/logitech-crayon-for-ipad-to-reach-general-public-on-sept-12">open up to the public</a>.</p>
<p>The updated <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/03/18/new-499-ipad-air-boasts-a12-bionic-processor-and-a-new-105-inch-display">Air</a> and <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/03/18/new-399-ipad-mini-arrives-with-apple-pencil-support">mini</a> models are largely performance upgrades, with few feature or cosmetic changes. Enhancements include a larger 10.5-inch display on the Air, A12 processors, True Tone displays, up to 256 gigabytes of storage, and first-generation Apple Pencil support.</p>
