Oh wonderful. That would be better, though, then faulty hardware, especially if the issue is going un-acknowledged. If it is software, maybe this is something to be addressed in iOS 13, widely expected to be iPad-centric.
Regarding your plight with the 1st gen pencil, however, there are two fixes that worked great for me:
1. Tighten the tip. Very occasionally, heavy use can turn the tip a couple of revolutions and it looses optimum contact with the body.
2. Install a fresh tip. Again very occasionally, heavy use on a less than grit free screen can cause micro damage to the tip, so that it no longer makes optimum contact with the screen.
Most unfortunately, these aren't enduring solutions for persistent issues with the Apple Pencil 2. I did install a fresh tip to see what would happen. It helped, somewhat. That's not nearly good enough for hardware this decked-out and expensive. Really, it's a shame. There's no way I'm not going to protect this pricey screen—and pricey to fix if scratched or shattered. On the other hand, using a screen protector on this machine is costly, too, in frustration and thwarted workflow.
Quite honestly, I miss my iPad Pro 2nd gen. Except for the minor, easily remedied issues above, I never had a single problem with the pencil. Or touch. But I got greedy for more storage.
Did you have your hardware checked? I’m very curious about your experience.
