Q: how do I know when to replace the tip?

Pencil users - how do I know when to replace the tip? Is there any physical indication on the tip I should look for? I don't want to be in a state that could damage the screen.

Thanks!

In all these, Apple does not specify when to change the tip. I would think that since they only gave you one spare it must be a while, especially since, as of right now, there isn't even a means to purchase spare tips.

About all I can suggest is to use your best judgement.

Thanks. I did read those manuals with the package and as you say it doesn't look like there is lot of information about this from Apple. Hope things get better in the new year!
