I have owned this Apple Pencil for 2 years and have dropped it numerous times but recently when i dropped it the tip broke and i had to change it. The screw was stuck inside as the tip was split in half and fortunately i was able to unscrew it using a pen. I replaced the tip with another one but now when i try to write notes on my ipad the pen cuts off sometimes. Have i broken the Apple Pencil without knowing?
iPhone XS, iOS 16
Thank you this was helpful 😄
You are very welcome.
As described, the critical transducer element (that sits immediately under the replaceable tip) may have suffered damage from being dropped.
If the metal transducer element is intact, you can try replacing the tip - ensuring that the replacement is screwed snugly into position; you should see a tiny gap, of about the thickness of a sheet of paper, between the tip and pencil body.
If replacing the pencil tip does not resolve this issue, or the tip is not correctly positioned in relation to the pencil body when fitted, then your Pencil is likely to have suffered irreparable damage.
While the standard AppleCare limited warranty does not cover accidental damage, if you have purchased the optional AppleCare+ cover for iPad at the same time as purchasing your ApplePencil, AppleCare+ coverage extends to providing cover for your Pencil - including accidental damage.
