The entire pencil does NOT need to be replaced. The tips are easily replaced and inexpensive. And no, Apple won't likely replace a worn out Pencil Tip. Hence why they sell replacement tips in all their stores as well as online.

OK......And be fully prepared for Apple to say NO.


I suppose I'm a bit different. I'd be completely embarrassed to show Apple a Pencil Tip I wore out (and I have worn them out) and ask for a free replacement, when replacement tips are inexpensive and easily purchased. And Apple Pencil tips are consumable items. They wear out. They don't last forever.

Time for a New Pencil:

It looks like physical damage. How heavy are you pushing down on it? Where are you storing this when not in use? If having issues with other apps, it may be time for a new Apple Pencil.


Getting Apple Pencil Replaced:

Apple might replace it, but that is their call. So, ask them if you can. They may not replace intentionally or accidentally damaged devices. As for free of charge it would be if it is a faulty device, which appears not the be the issue here.

Apple Contact Info:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there, as necessary
  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
