Broken apple pencil tip

I dropped my apple pencil (ipad pro magnetic version) today and broke the tip. I want to change it with a replacement tip but there is a problem. When it dropped, instead of the entire tip dislodging, the tip broke in half. As a result, the base of the tip got stuck inside of the pencil and there is no way to remove it. Is there any way this can be fixed, like for ex take it out with tweezers? I really don’t wanna spend 150$ on a new pencil since this one is perfectly functional.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

We, just users like you, can't diagnose that kind of issue remotely, sorry.

I suggest that you make an appointment (*) and have your pencil inspected at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) among this list:--> https://locate.apple.com/choose-country-region . After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.

With the tip being broken as described, the transducer element (that sits immediately under the replaceable tip) may have suffered damage.


If the metal transducer element is intact and the threaded section can be easily removed, you can try replacing the tip - ensuring that the replacement is screwed snugly into position. When correctly fitted 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.


Given your description, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your Pencil:
