5 Best Apple Pencil Replacement Tips to Buy

Apple Pencil is one of my favorite productivity tools. I use it every day to jot down notes, journal, and sketch ideas. Since I use Apple Pencil with a screen protector that adds more friction for a better writing experience, my Apple Pencil Tips tend to wear out. Thankfully you can easily replace them, and they are affordable. Here are the best Apple Pencil Tips to buy.

Best Apple Pencil replacement tips to buy

You can use an Apple Pencil accessory like a case or cover to protect it, but the tips remain exposed and wear out. So, we recommend keeping replacement tips with you at all times.

1. Apple Pencil Tips (4 Pack)

To get the obvious choice out of our way, we have kept the official Apple Pencil replacement tips from Apple at the top. These tips are compatible with Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil (2nd generation). These are the same tips you get with your Apple Pencil, so you know what you are getting. These are a bit costlier than the third-party options listed below, but Apple always commands a premium price for products, so we are not surprised.

2. Apple Pencil Soft Tips 2B

While the official Apple Pencil tips are good, I prefer a softer tip that enhances the friction and gives a more pencil and paper writing feel. The one I recommended comes with 8 pencil tips, four each in 2B and HB hardness. 

The 2B tips are softer, while the HB tips are closer in hardness to the official Apple Pencil Tips. Each class includes one black tip, allowing you to achieve a pencil-like appearance if desired. As far as I can tell, there’s no difference between the softness between the black and white tips. 

These are not the cheapest Apple Pencil replacement tips you can buy, but they justify their price.

3. Paperlike Pencil Tips

If you use a Paperlike screen protector or any similar ones that comprise microdots to improve friction, I recommend the Paperlike Pencil Tips. These Apple Pencil Tips are durable and last for a long time. 

They also provide better friction, resulting in an improved writing and sketching experience. I like that Paperlike went with charcoal color, as it really looks good in person. 

Like other Apple Pencil Tips, it’s compatible with Apple Pencil versions, including Apple Pencil, Apple Pencil 2, and Apple Pencil Pro.

4. AWINNER replacement tips for Apple Pencil 2nd Gen and 1st Gen

If you want a product that’s similar to the official Apple Pencil replacement tips but quite a bit cheaper, check out the AWINNER tips for Apple Pencil. They are just like the original Apple Pencil tips and work without issues.

The same company also makes colored tips for Apple Pencil. The colored tips are made using the same materials, so you get the same writing and sketching experience. These tips are available in five colors; red, green, purple, pink, and cyan. They look great and give your Apple Pencil a funky appearance.

5. Ailun pen tip for Apple Pencil

If you find the Apple Pencil tip to be a bit broad and want a ball-point pen-like tip, you should get the Ailun pen tip for the Apple Pencil. The pencil tips are made of 100% nickel alloy with crystal diamond grade tempered coating, which is to say, they are hard, resistant to corrosion, and will last for a long time. The tips won’t scratch the screen of your Apple Pencil. That said, we recommend using a screen protector on your iPad if you use it with an Apple Pencil, no matter which kind of Apple tip you are using.
