FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youre enticed by one of the brand-new iPads then youre probably weighing
up the benefits of getting an official keyboard or an Apple Pencil for it
too. Well, were here to tell you thats a terrible idea you should get Logitechs cheaper versions instead.

Apple has finally shown off the new iPad (10th-generation) and two M2 iPad
Pro tablets, and alongside them Apple has launched a brand new Magic Keyboard too. This stand-plus-keyboard hybrid makes it easier to use your iPad like a laptop but it comes at a pretty high cost. On top of the price of Apples tablet youll have to shell out $249, $299 or $349 / 279, 319 or 379 / AU$399, AU$489 or AU$579 for a compatible keyboard for the iPad (10th-generation),
the iPad Pro (11-inch, M2) or iPad Pro (12.9-inch, M2) respectively.

Thankfully, for those of you after the convenience of a keyboard and case to keep your shiny new iPad safer, theres a great solution that isnt as bank-breaking. Logitech produces its own iPad-compatible accessories that do exactly the same stuff, for a fraction of the cost. (Image credit: Logitech)

Right now on Apples official store, you can find the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case with Trackpad for the new iPad Pros. While still not the cheapest accessory in the world itll only set you back $199.95 or $229.95 / 219.95 or 239.95 / AU$299.95 or AU$349.95 for the 11-inch and 12.9-inch compatible options respectively.

Additionally, you can head to Logitechs own store and grab a Combo Touch for the iPad (10th generation) for $160. If youre happy to forgo a trackpad for your iPad (10th generation) then you could alternatively opt for Logitechs Slim Folio keyboard case ($100) or the Rugged Folio keyboard case ($140). Theyre currently not available on Logitechs UK and Australian stores but were finding out when and if this will change.

Its not just cases that Logitech makes though, it also makes its own Apple Pencil . The Logitech Crayon (which is a great name by the way) promises to deliver pixel-precise drawing on any iPad with a USB-C connection, and it
even uses the same tech as the actual Apple Pencil. If you want to pick up this digital stylus it will set you back $69.95 / 69.95 its not currently available in Australia. The Logitech Crayon; it looks just as sleek as an Apple Pencil (Image credit: Logitech)

Logitechs add-ons arent a must-buy for every iPad owner some people dont
need a fancy stylus or a keyboard they just want a simple-to-use tablet but if youre planning to get an official iPad keyboard case or Apple Pencil then wed seriously suggest you get one of these products instead.

Sure these accessories arent Apple-made, but considering theyre sold on
Apples store theyre about as official as third-party add-ons can get.
