2nd Gen Apple Pencil nib replacement after 3 weeks!!!

It is the roughness and friction of the matte screen protector that is wearing down the Apple Pencil nibs/tips more quickly.

To help with the wear, there are makers on Amazon that make replaceable, thin silicone tip covers that you can put over tip of an Apple Pencil to make the more expensive, replaceable tips last longer by changing out thr cheaper silicone tip covers, instead.

These thin, silicone covers do not affect Apple Pencil sensitivity.

Also, both Apple and Amazon sell a set of 4 Apple Pencil tips for $20.

Best of Luck to You!

There’s your cause...

Perhaps try a smooth screen protector - such as Zagg. It’ll feel a little different, but the pencil tips will last a lot longer.

Are you using a textured screen protector? If so, due to the increased friction, the tip will wear more quickly than when using a smooth glass screen.

The Pencil tip is a consumable item - and is intended to wear with use. That said, three weeks for a change suggests some enthusiastic drawing must be taking place.

Spare Pencil tips are purchased as a pack of spares.

Drawing with an Apple Pencil on a smooth, glass screen protector won’t feel any different than drawing directly on the iPad’s actual screen.

The point of a matte screen protector is to add some texture or “tooth” to the iPad's screen to make the iPad's screen less slick to be able to draw or write with using the hard plastic tip of the Apple Pencil.
