FYI: My iPad pencil tip broke off leaving the threaded neck stuck inside the pencil

I'm an adult and gentle with my iDevices. I bought a keyboard case with a pencil holder on the side. I noticed this morning, my iPad pencil tip broke off leaving the threaded neck stuck inside the pencil. I have no way to get it out as it is below the opening. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it covered under the warranty? I've only had it 5 months.

Cracked 2nd Generation Apple Pencil 3 days after purchasing a new Apple Pencil (2nd gen), I noticed 2 vertical cracks near the tip. Tools it to Apple a week later and they said they can’t do anything about it excerpt repair the cheap plastic for $109 or buy Apple care for my brand new iPad and have it roll to the pencil for a $50 cheap plastic fix. OK, Apple. How about standing by your products? This is clearly a defect in the design of the pencil…just like the 2017 and 2018 Mac Book Pro keyboards that stopped working due to poor design. It took Apple close to a year to fight customers about their keyboard problems and finally give in — reluctantly — to making a 4-year warranty and fixing their design flaw. Listen up, Apple…get over yourself and stand by your expensive products. Or else you will alienate your loyal customers. Anyone get these Geniuses to actually admit it’s a flaw?

Apple accessories come with a one year warranty. That doesn't cover accidental damage, so you should go to your Apple Store, be super nice and maybe they'll offer you a free replacement.

Bring it into your “nearest”, local Apple Store and see if the employees will offer you a free replacement.

Good Luck to You!
