Logitech has released an updated version of its Crayon stylus to coincide with the announcement of Apple's new iPads. The new stylus costs the same as the old model, $69.95, but now features a USB-C charging port rather than Lightning - a helpful change given the 10th-generation iPad's switch from Lightning to USB-C.
The change means that the Logitech Crayon arguably has a much more elegant charging mechanism than Apple's first-party $99 Pencil when used with the base-level iPad. Logitech's new stylus can charge using just the USB-C cable that comes with the tablet - no fiddly USB-C-to-Lightning adapter required. The wirelessly-charging second-generation Apple Pencil isn't compatible with Apple's new entry-level iPad.
