For me, the iPad's still best at being a finger-touch device. I haven't reviewed or tried the Crayon yet, but since it's only available in the education market, it's not really an option for the masses.Дespite how good the Pencil is, it's the iPad accessory I use least. It has no pressure sensitivity, which is the Pencil's biggest advantage. It's made to be easier to hold for kids and not roll off tables, but it's not the same as the Pencil. LogitechВ is making a more affordable stylus, called the Crayon, for $49. Unless you have a special case with a Pencil holder, you'll have to stick it in your ear. And the Pencil still rolls across tables and has no way to clip onto the iPad. The stylus tip can detach and get lost, too. (Students and educators get a mere $10 discount in the US.)ДЄnd nothing has changed about the Pencil's design, which is hardly kid-friendly: the rear cap covering the Lightning plug is way too easy to lose. It's expensive, though: At $99, ВЈ89 or AU$145, it's nearly a third of the cost of the iPad. The Pencil's also fast to recharge via Lightning. Apple is slowly working in support in its core apps, too. Its ability to draw on angles and also be pressure-sensitive results in excellent digital sketching. Pencil: The good and badДЄpple's Pencil is probably the iPad's most exciting feature of the last few years. And it's faster than all previous iPads except the 2017 iPad Pros, which cost about twice as much to start. So think of it this way: If you have any non-Pro iPad besides the 2017 model, the Air 2 or a Mini, the 2018 model will be slimmer and lighter.

On an iPad, however, I always seem to forget where the home button is as I spin it around to different orientations.ДЇour generations of iPads, left to right: The 10.5-inch iPad Pro (2017) the new 9.7-inch iPad with Pencil support (2018) the original 9.7-inch iPad Pro (2016) and the older 9.7-inch iPad (2017). This iPad has the first-generation Touch ID button - not the second-gen one found in newer iPhones and the iPad Pro - but it worked just fine. Games run great, apps load fast, and battery life has been surprisingly good, even by iPad standards. Most everyday iPad owners can skip the expense, or opt to add it later.ДЄfter a couple of weeks with the iPad, it's proven to be an easy to-go option. But you don't need the Pencil: Your finger will work just fine for basic mark-up. Instant annotations of PDFs and photos are easy, and its responsiveness is great. Apple has also knitted Pencil support into its iWork suite of apps, including Pages, as well as the built-in Notes app. Much like Microsoft's Surface Pen, the Pencil stylus is pressure-sensitive and is helpful in art apps. As I said above, this iPad now works with the Pencil stylus, too, which is great news for anyone thinking of doing creative work.
