After repairing the device, the Apple Pencil stylus stopped drawing straight lines, the strokes are “imperfect”
iPad owners who have had their tablet’s screen replaced at third-party service centers have encountered problems with the Apple Pencil branded stylus. As noted by the thematic resource 9to5mac.com, this seems to be a deliberate move on the part of Apple.
Initially, the British iCorrect repair team drew attention to the situation. As the repair expert noted, the problem with the Apple Pencil occurs not only if a non-original part was used for replacement, but also if a branded screen from another iPad is used.
Apple Pencil issues when replacing iPad screen
According to the expert, the blocking was the result of Apple’s software innovations, which force you to order spare parts directly from Apple.
A similar situation is observed, for example, with Touch ID and Face ID on the iPhone after screen replacement. The battery indicator may also turn off if you use a third-party battery or a battery from another iPhone.
Now this practice has spread to displays of the fifth and sixth generations of 12.9-inch iPad Pro and 11-inch tablets of the third and fourth generations. After repairing the device, the Apple Pencil stylus stopped drawing straight lines, the strokes are “imperfect”.
