I'm feeling really frustrated after my recent experience at the Apple Store and would love some advice on what to do next. This is actually my third Apple Pencil (2nd gen), which cost me $129 each. I rely heavily on it for studying, work, journaling, and organizing my day, so it's definitely not just an accessory for me.
Unfortunately, my 10-year-old sister, who has autism and sometimes bites objects (including my Apple Pencil), managed to break the tip of my current one. When I initially got it replaced at the store, the staff were super helpful. But this time, I went back because the tip broke again, and the employee was unsure if he could fix it. After some time in the back, he returned and said he couldn't remove the broken tip, and I felt that his comment about my sister was rude and dismissive. Now I'm feeling stuck since I can't keep buying new Pencils every time something like this happens due to her condition. What are my options here, and how can I handle this situation better in the future?

Honestly, the best bet would be to find a way to keep the Pencil out of your sister's reach. Given how often you use it, maybe try to put it somewhere high up or in a case that's less accessible? It’s tough, but that might save you some stress and money in the long run.
While I understand your situation, it’s important to remember that Apple isn’t directly responsible for the damage. However, consider buying a new Pencil and try to keep it in a secured place. It’s a hassle, but it might be necessary until you can find a more permanent solution.
Next time, make sure to look into getting AppleCare+. That way, if there’s any damage in the future, you can swap your Pencil without any additional cost!
Did you know you can buy a generic version of the Pencil for a fraction of the cost? They usually have nearly all the same features and might be a better option given the circumstances!
