Guys I have used up all my luck for this year.
Earlier today, my iPad Pro was on my bed and the pencil was detached from the dock, also on my bed.
Now when I crashed down onto my bed at the speed of sound (lol), I fell on the pencil. Now, I didn’t notice anything wrong and I also didn’t use the iPad for the rest of the Evening. Like many of us in the U.S., I was watching the Presidential Debate on TV.
After watching, I came back to my bed and stuck the pencil back onto the iPad. I noticed something felt weird while putting it on. The magnets weren’t sticking together properly like they do. I then looked closely, and realized that my Apple Pencil was bent at an angle like this:

So naturally, I shrieked in horror because my $129 stick of plastic and battery had bent. So I use my nonexistent muscle, and bent it back together so it looks like this (to my horror, it was VERY easy to bend):

Not perfect. My OCD wouldn’t live with this.
So I got out my nonexistent muscle again, turned the “strength” level up to 11 and gave the tip of the Apple Pencil lots of pressure.
It worked! All lined up properly. Attaches, charges, works, double tap works, and everything.
Phew. I was so lucky. Thank the Apple gods for this miracle. more in the morning
