Black stains on Apple Pencil.

Hello. I am getting black stains in my Apple Pencil. From what i have read, they are migrating particles to the magnets of the pencil while charging in the dock.

My question is: “What the ****?”... This is such an expensive product for this to be happening. I have my pencil and iPad for less than a year.

ALso, the stains don’t seem to wear off at all...

Will this damage performance eventually?

Am i just supposed to accept this horrible stains on my pencil and live with it?

As users here, we would have absolutely no clue what Apple is working on or not.

I can tell you, I chose to put my Apple Pencil in a silicone sleeve when I got it. There are loads of options you can find on Amazon.com.

It's very unlikely going to affect usage. You are more than welcome to schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and show it to them.

Thank you. I will do that and come back here to share results. I have read about this going on to many people. DO you think Apple is working on it?
