Although a new tablet is already an important investment and the normal thing is that we do not have much desire to get into more expenses, very often it will be worthwhile to increase our budget a little more and accompany the purchase with some accessory that, depending on our preferences and needs, will help us get even more out of it. We review the most interesting for the new iPad 2018.
Good news: iPad 9.7 accessories are worth it
The first thing to say is that, because the iPad 2018 It has not introduced any significant change in its design, neither in terms of dimensions nor in terms of connections and ports, all the accessories that we have for the iPad 9.7 last year they will continue to be useful, which in turn means that many will also do it, even those that we will use with the iPad Air (which is more likely that we are renovating than the 2017 model).
This also means that our selection of iPad 9.7 cases and accessories is still valid also for the iPad 2018. In covers, which is the most basic accessory, it is worth noting that, together with the smart houses de Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, which may be somewhat more expensive, we have many other solvent options for a few $10, including some more recent additional ones, such as that of JETech or of ESR. In keyboard covers, probably the most interesting option in quality / price is right now that of COO, for only $30.
Everything for the main accessory: the Apple Pencil
In the selection of accessories for the iPad 9.7 we already leave you some recommendations for more affordable stylus, but of course the Apple Pencil deserves a special mention, considering that the fact that it has support for it is one of the great novelties of the iPad 2018. It is true that its price (100 euros) seems more balanced as an accompaniment to the iPad Pro, but surely many will be encouraged to also give it a try with this other model.
If that is your case, we not only have a selection of apps that may be worth trying to give it a try (for artistic tasks, especially, but not only), but we also recommend that you consider the possibility of making a small extra investment and accompanying it with another accessory (although it may seem excessive), because we must not lose sight of the fact that its charging system is somewhat uncomfortable and that cases and keyboards usually do not include any docking system for it.
The flagship accessories: the Logitech case and stylus
Logitech is, in general, one of the most trusted accessory manufacturers that we can find and one of the ones that always receives more attention from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, to the point that in the presentation of the iPad 2018 they made a space for him on stage so that they will show us his latest creations for this model: a rugged cover or with a stylus called Pencils which looks a lot like a colored pencil and costs half the Apple Pencil.
By design and functions, as you can see, they fit perfectly with an iPad that was presented trying above all to attract the attention of schools in the United States, and although it could really interest anyone, this is perhaps the main problem: it is possible that are not sold to the general public. Maybe Logitech change your mind later, so it's worth mentioning, if at all. If we are willing to make a slightly high investment, yes, the one that we already have for sale is your Slim Folio keyboard cover, more expensive than others ($80) but probably the best in quality.
