How do I protect my Apple Pencil tip?

In order to protect your Apple Pencil tip, it would help to do things to avoid damaging it.

Easy things you can do can include leaving the Apple Pencil attached to the iPad when not in use, leaving it on the desk when you are using it but need to put it down or you can use a cover for the Apple Pencil.

The Apple Pencil tip will wear down over time due to friction. The more friction there is the faster the Apple Pencil tip will wear down. In order to get the Apple Pencil tip to last longer, it would help to limit how much friction is produced.

If you use a screen protector that is plastic, which is designed to give you a more paper-like experience when you draw on the iPad, your Apple Pencil tip will wear down faster.

The reason for this is that plastic screen protectors result in more friction. However, they can give you a better drawing experience if you need to do precise drawings.

If you use a glass screen protector or draw directly on the iPad’s screen, the Apple Pencil will last longer because there is much less friction. This gives you a smooth drawing experience, but it can be bad if you need to do precise drawings.

Furthermore, how hard you press down will impact how much friction gets created. If you press down too hard, it will cause your Apple Pencil tip to wear out faster.

Also, if there is debris on the iPad or on the Apple Pencil tip, it could also cause the Apple Pencil tip to wear out faster.

This will also risk the iPad’s screen getting damaged. So, it is best to wipe the screen down before use or to just make sure that the screen is clean before using it.

How often should you change the Apple Pencil tip?

With normal use you will likely need to replace the Apple Pencil tip every 6 months to a year. However, your Apple Pencil tip may last longer than that if you do not use it very often. If you use it a lot and use a plastic screen protector, the tip will not last as long due to increased friction.

You should change the Apple Pencil tip if it is visibly damaged, it has scratches on it, it is worn down, or if it is causing a lot of friction when you are drawing on the iPad. You can also tell if the tip is worn out, if you are having trouble drawing with it accurately or if it is not always working properly.

How to get the Apple Pencil tip to last longer

As mentioned above, you can get your Apple Pencil tip to last longer by limiting the amount of friction created. You can do this by using a glass screen protector instead of plastic and by trying not to press down too hard.
