The Apple Pencil IS still under the free, one-year AppleCare.
So, Apple SHOULD just give you a free replacement Apple Pencil.
FYI,
Apple is not here.
Cognizant or responsible Apple designers and engineers do not read nor participate in these Apple technical support communities.
These are user to user Apple product support communities.
We are all users here, just like you!
Apple supplies these forums for users to work out their product issues with other users, but these community forums ARE monitored/moderated by Apple Staff assigned to these community forums, but I do not think any info is ever passed on to who/mever the cognizant parties are who would need to know if there are any mounting issues with a product or software.
These ASC ONLY moderators and staffers, due to Apple privacy policies, do not forward any info contained/obtained from ANY of these communities to any cognizant Apple staff, teams or individuals.
The only way to get Apple to listen to you is to use their feedback portion of their website.
iPad Feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
Cognizant Apple employees read ALL feedback generated from all of the various feedback pages and transfers the data to the proper and responsible Apple teams and personnel , but NO Apple employees will ever respond with any type of direct, individual replies from the feedback you post.
Good Luck to You!
