Apple Pencils Suck (Why Art is Slow)

Posted by PolarDraws - June 28th, 2024


Recently my Apple Pencil which I use to draw digitally has begun bugging out. It does this very frequently but this is a particularly bad bout of it. Basically it disconnected from the iPad as I was drawing and won’t connect back. As of writing it hasn’t for a week and a half. I’ve spend lots of that time plugging it in, disconnecting it, plugging it back in, you get the drill.

That’s why there hasn’t been much art recently, because this has happened a few times. Sorry for the inconvenience.


Also if anybody reading knows how to fix this that’d be radical so lmk

I have heard some people have gotten free replacements after taking it to an apple store, although it was for a different issue regarding a palm rejection problem you could give it a try for your issue

try restarting the ipad
apple replaces the pencil battery for about 20 or so dollars, they randomly die

Just tried that. It’s not an issue with the tip, it’s that the entire Pencil disconnected and isn’t even in the battery menu thing anymore. I tried restarting before I really don’t know what the issue is lmao

This is very strange. I have never actually used an apple pencil really so I can't be of much help, but unpairing and repairing it to your ipad might help. If not you can just forego pressure sensitivity and go for another cheaper 3rd party option, although that might not be feasible as you are an artist.

Yeah sadly I need the pressure sensitivity with my art style and the kind of brush I use

Replace it?

depending on how old it is apple is usually decent about replacing it.
