And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. The carriers are under a huge strain and lose track of deliveries constantly but Apple is very accommodating to shipping issues and return deadlines, as long as you can show common sense evidence of good faith.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. Quick word to the wise about returns: always document anything you ship back to Apple-photos, carrier drop off receipts, etc. So now I make sure to unplug the charger from time to time and run the battery down before reconnecting and leaving it on the charger said:

The next few days I kept using it on battery only, recharging it back to 100% only after letting the charge drop to about 15%.Īfter a week of this the battery now holds a full charge again, and will run about 10 hours on a full charge. I then noticed after a recharge it would go back up to 100%, but after a minute of use it would drop to a 85% charge. I used it on battery power and sure enough, it discharged really fast. I recently read something about iPad batteries needing to go through a discharge cycle from time to time to get max battery life. The final information I'd like to share is that I used to keep my 2017 (Daily use) iPad plugged into the charger 99% of the time. It's been sitting for about 6 months and when I just used it to check the Pencil, the iPad battery is still at 69%. I read somewhere that it's best to store iPads at about 70% charge. Apparently the firmware updates in the background without notice. Then I left the pencil plugged into the iPad for about 10 minutes. I made sure after I updated to ios12 to charge the Pencil to 100% using the included adapter for charging using the Apple charger.
#APPLE PENCIL 2 NOT CHARGING 2021 UPDATE#
The other thing I recall reading is that the iPad won't update the Pencil's firmware unless the Pencil has a 100% charge. So I keep it in the original box, and keep it in a place where in doesn't get disturbed. I also read that any movement could wake the Pencil.

But the discharge issue seemed to go away after I updated to iOS 12. I have no idea what actually fixed this issue for my Apple Pencil.
#APPLE PENCIL 2 NOT CHARGING 2021 BLUETOOTH#
That's when I read about the issue, and the recommendation to use the bluetooth setting to forget the Pencil and turn bluetooth off and on again. When I first got it, it would loose most of it's charge after sitting unused for 10 days or so. Fortunately after just checking it still has a 95% charge after sitting for a few months.

I haven't used my type 1 Apple Pencil in a few months.

I should also note this was in May/June last year, when the world was a little shakier than usual. I do make sure to charge it once in a while, as it does not like to run all the way down, as others have noted. Otherwise they would have charged me $99 plus shipping.Īnyway, for a little over $30 I got a new 1st gen pencil. She also eventually got them to waive the deadline for returning the old pencil. I had to talk to a nice Apple lady in Texas, who got them to email me a new return label. The return label had been destroyed at the same time the original label had.

FedEx said they had several lost Apple pencils, so I had to contact Apple get the serial number of the one they had sent me. When I tracked it, it disappeared in Memphis, at fedex I think. (Mine was long out of warranty)Īpple shipped it from some place in PA, and it got lost in shipping. Contacted Apple support online, and it turns out they simply replace them by mail for that price. I read lots of discussion about it, and eventually found out that Apple will, “Fix,” them for something like $29.
