apple pencil metal tip broken

If the fragile metal transducer beneath the plastic tip is distorted or damaged, the Pencil will require replacement. Repair of an Apple Pencil is not possible.

If your Pencil is within its one year warranty, it may be worthwhile asking for help at an Apple Store - but be aware that accidental damage is not covered by the limited warranty. However, if your iPad has AppleCare+ cover, then accidental damage of the Pencil may be covered.

Can you see if is broken of somethings else in this? The sensivity motion was working exactly vertically, but when i wanted to write normally, it didnt registed in the ipad.

The transducer appears, at least visually, to be okay. Have you fitted a new Pencil Tip? If needs to be tightened firmly; if slightly loosened, the Pencil may not work properly.

If the Pencil was dropped onto a hard surface, the Pencil may have suffered internal damage to its other sensors.

The internals were working fine, blutooth ok, changing pen to rubber as well, the sensivity as well when writing exactly vertically. my only problem was writing normally, in diagonal way.

The image shows that the Pencil seems to have been dropped vertically onto its tip - which now appears to be flat instead of hemispherical. Similarly, the gap between the replaceable tip and the body of the Pencil is wider than expected.

Having been dropped onto the tip, the Pencil is very likely to have suffered damage. You should replace the damaged tip with a new item. If you are lucky, the Pencil may have survived.

A first-generation Pencil, it will have been supplied with a spare tip in the box. A second generation Pencil is not supplied with a spare tip.

If you have already used your spare, or it has been lost or not supplied, replacements are available (pack of four) from Apple:
