My Apple Pencil 2nd gen marks
So the little marks you get on your pencil from the charging should I be concerned? Is there something I can do to prevent it? Like maybe get a case for the pencil??
Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
Question marked as
You are perhaps describing a common observation concerning localised surface wear of the anodised finish of the iPad - and corresponding marks that appear on the magnetic contact points of your Apple Pencil…
Any abrasive dust or grit that is present when docking the Pencil can abrade the anodised finish of the iPad.
Basic material science tells us that an hard/abrasive material will embed itself in the surface of the softer material (in this case, the body of the Pencil) - and this can abrade the surface of the harder material (the anodised coating) as the Pencil slides on/off of the iPad charging pad.
Keeping these surfaces clean and dust free can reduce the possibility of cosmetic surface damage.
