The latest part of an Apple device to demand a repair by its maker appears to be the screens on newer iPads. Reports from repair shops and customers suggest that Apple Pencils no longer work properly on non-genuine Apple screens, as they draw squiggly lines on a diagonal instead of straight.<\/p>\n

Ricky Panesar, CEO of UK repair firm iCorrect, told Forbes<\/a> that screens replaced on newer iPad Pros (fifth and sixth-generation 12.9-inch and third and fourth-generation 11-inch models) do not deliver straight lines when an Apple Pencil<\/a> is used to draw at an angle. “They have a memory chip that sits on the screen that’s programmed to only allow the Pencil functionality to work if the screen is connected to the original logic board,” Panesar told Forbes.<\/p>\n

A Reddit post from May 23<\/a> from a user reporting “jittery” diagonal lines from an Apple Pencil<\/a> on a newly replaced iPad mini screen suggests the issue may affect more than just the Pro line of iPads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
