Is an Apple Pencil "a must" for a new iPad? Just wondering.
Ironically, you're the only one who can answer your question.
Some people are still more comfortable actually writing than typing. So much so that one company has a display cover that's supposed to give the Pencil (and probably other similar tools) the feel of writing on paper.
If you want to do any sketching with any degree of accuracy, the Pencil or compatible stylus is a must.
If you are an artist, and want to draw or 'paint', the Pencil or equivalent (LOL, what am I saying) is a must.
If none of the above apply to you, then I'd guess you don't need the Pencil. Given that I'm considering the smaller iPP, if I switch to the new iP2018, the Pencil is a given.
And you're right, CJ. Most people won't have the option of the Crayon, at least for now. Competitors may bring out something similar, or Logitech may open up sales later. The Pencil has more features, but if I knew someone who could get me the Crayon, I'd give it a try.
