Apple Pencil & Apple Care

[fwmireault]

Hi all,

So I bought an Apple Pencil 2nd gen a few years ago (almost 4 years I believe), so the warranty has expired a long time ago. I have Apple Care on my iPad Pro 2021, and my understanding is that it covers automatically my Apple Pencil and my Magic Keyboard as long as my iPad is covered. Recently, my cat chewed the tip of the pencil (not the silicon tip, but the plastic around it). It’s still working as intended, but the pencil has some damage on it, and was wondering if I could use the Apple Care to repair (most likely replace) the pencil.

So I have two questions: Is the Apple Care covering the Apple Pencil even if the Pencil’s warranty has been long gone? And if so, am I eligible to an accidental damage repair from Apple, or do I need absolutely the Pencil not to work anymore to be eligible?

Thank you for any help!

Just curious: Do you mean the cat damaged the body of the pencil itself or only the replaceable soft tip?

Because if it's just the tip they are very easy to replace and you get find multi packs on Amazon.

Yes I should have been clearer, it’s the body itself that is damaged, I would have just replaced the tip if it was only that

OK. Then I don't know the answer. Hope someone else can help you. Meow.

It is supposed to cover it. Push them until it does if you have to.

It explicitly covers the iPad, the pencil, and any apple branded iPad keyboard and it doesn’t say they have to be purchased together either.
