Replace Your Apple Pencil Tip

Your Apple Pencil tip doesn’t only come loose, it can also retain damage. While the Apple Pencil is generally a pretty durable piece of technology, its components can still get harmed with time and heavy use.

In this step, we’ll show you how to safely change your Apple Pencil tip.

1. Purchase a new Apple Pencil tip. Amazon sells them in packs of four for pretty cheap.
2. Grab your current Apple Pencil tip between two fingers and slowly unscrew it from your Apple Pencil’s base.
3. Pick up your replacement tip.
4. Twist your new Apple Pencil tip clockwise until it attaches to the Apple Pencil base securely.

Why this works:

Apple Pencil tips are not invincible. In fact, they’re made to be replaced.

If you find that the tip of your Apple Pencil is wearing out or damaged, don’t panic! Replacing an Apple Pencil tip is a pretty affordable fix, and it doesn’t take too much time either.

Pro tip:

• This step applies to Apple Pencils from both the 1st and 2nd generation.
