    Guys,

    Anyone know where to pick up these as I’ve just dropped mine and really need a replacement for work tomorrow.

    Apple are quoting Wednesday delivery plus I have to buy 4 and then pay €7 postage.

    The pencil comes with a spare, its possibly still in the box from when you purchased it?


    CompuB are the only B&M that I know who sell them if you have one nearby. I think they are only sold in a pack of 4.

    I had asked in CompuB back in December but they didn’t stock replacement kits. Ended up buying from Amazon because, as you note, it worked out cheaper for postage compared to Apple. Ended up getting massively delayed in the Xmas post madness.

    Ill check the box, its the AP2, but I certainly didn’t notice a spare in there.

    Didn't realise it was the Pencil2, not sure if it includes the spare.
    You definitely get a spare with the original.

    The new model uses the same tips as the first model. Apple being Apple no longer include a spare tip with the new model, but they increased the price.

    I use it to draw house surveys on site and take notes and I’ve dropped it a couple of times ok.

    But this once, it dropped tip first and it kind dented in the top so that it was flat. It still worked but I had to write straight down if you get me.
