My apple pencil only works when I use a worn off tip. What could be the issue?

Make sure a new tip is fully screwed onto the end of the Pencil.


Did you ever dropped your Apple Pencil on the tip or a very long drop?

If the Pencil had been dropped on the tip, you may have damaged the metal sensor/transducer tube.

Did your Pencil ever get wet?


Was your iPad ever dropped or got wet?

A dropped or wet iPad could have some internal issues.


You may need to use the Apple support link, in the upper right hand corner of these support pages, to get help with your iPad/Pencil issues.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!



If your Apple Pencil ever got damaged, somehow, this may explain opetational issues.
