The Apple Pencil Death Sentence is Finally Over

Your hundred-dollar Apple Pencil is basically designed to die, and Apple is finally being forced to fix it. Right now, if your stylus battery dies, the whole thing becomes an expensive piece of useless plastic. You can't replace the battery without completely destroying the casing. But thanks to strict European Union rules, Apple has to redesign the Apple Pencil by February 2027. Both the USB-C and Pro models are getting a massive internal overhaul. No, you won't be popping in AA batteries. Instead, independent shops will finally be able to swap the battery using basic tools. This means your favorite creative tool will actually last for years, saving your wallet and the planet.
