    iPad New Apple Pencil 1 - solely with USB-C connector

    I recently bought an iPad (10th gen) and plan to buy an Apple Pencil. Does Apple plan to release a new version of the 1st gen Apple Pencil with solely a USB-C connector? I think having a lightning to USB-C adapter with the actual 1st gen Apple Pencil is very inelegant for the 10th gen iPad...

    We need to talk about sustainability. [Apple pencil]

    Hi, everyone, in the recent years, Apple has advertised being a green company, going as far as not using plastic in their cables. However, not allowing batteries to be replaced in their Apple Pencils strikes me as a terrible move, which makes their discourse seem very superficial. We need to...

    All iPads It seems like Apple has some quality control issues when it comes to their Pencil tips. I made a video showcasing that.

    On another note, how many times can I screw and unscrew a Pencil tip before it wears down the gold connectors inside? Found myself screwing and unscrewing one time in a bout of anxiety, and I had to make multiple takes of this video before I got it right.

    Apple Pencil 1st Gen - Tip Offset from center

    I dropped my Apple Pencil by mistake and although I don’t notice any changes in its functionality whatsoever, I noticed the tip is slightly offset (not bent!) from the center of the pencil... by a very small amount, almost unnoticeable. It’s only when I run my finger across it it feels a bit...
