πŸ›’ Unboxing a Variety of Apple Pencil Tips

The speaker begins by sharing their decision to purchase all available types of Apple Pencil tip replacements on Amazon. This comprehensive purchase was prompted by a previous positive experience with Timovo's replacement tips. Upon receiving the new tips, the speaker notes the variety in packaging quality, from simple bags to more elaborate cases. They express skepticism about the branding and labeling of the products, with many appearing generic. The speaker also mentions their previous video review on a cost-effective screen protector that, while good, accelerates the wear of Apple Pencil tips, which sparked the need for this test of various tip replacements.

05:01

πŸ€” Testing the Durability and Feel of Different Apple Pencil Tips

In this segment, the speaker delves into testing the durability and feel of the replacement tips. They compare different brands, including 'A Winner' and 'Meco', noting the subtle differences in smoothness and resistance. The speaker also tries a generic tip from a cheap stylus and finds it surprisingly effective, even when using a sensitive brush for pressure testing. They conclude that, despite the variety, most generic tips feel similar, with minor manufacturing nuances being the primary differences.

10:01

πŸ–ŒοΈ Exploring Specialty Tips: Metal and Rubber-Tipped Apple Pencil Replacements

The speaker explores specialty Apple Pencil tips, including metal and rubber-tipped varieties. They test the 'Six Fu' tips with tiny rubber tips, finding them surprisingly precise and potentially less prone to wearing down quickly. They also try 'Einor' metal tips, noting that the shortest profile tends to scratch the screen protector and is less favored. The medium and longer metal tips perform well, with the speaker suggesting they could be a cost-effective option for heavy users due to their metal construction. The speaker expresses surprise at the effectiveness of the rubber tips, which offer a different, yet satisfying drawing experience.

15:03

🎨 Evaluating the Artistic Performance of Various Apple Pencil Tips

In the final paragraph, the speaker evaluates the artistic performance of the Apple Pencil tips, particularly the 'Peelink' set that claims to emulate different pencil hardness levels. They test the 2B, HB, soft, and hard tips, finding that the rubber tips provide a unique drawing experience with varying levels of resistance. The speaker concludes that while the claims of different line thicknesses are not accurate due to the brush settings on the iPad, the tips do offer a range of feels that could be beneficial for different artistic styles. They recommend the HB tip from the 'Peelink' set as a favorite, appreciating its balance of resistance and smoothness.

Timovo is a brand mentioned in the script as the manufacturer of replacement tips that the reviewer previously reviewed and found satisfactory. The brand serves as a benchmark against which the reviewer compares new options. The video's narrative involves testing if other brands can match or exceed Timovo's quality, which is a significant consideration for consumers looking for reliable Apple Pencil accessories.

πŸ’‘Metal Tips

Metal tips are a type of replacement tip material discussed in the video. These are contrasted with the standard rubber tips and are marketed as more durable. The reviewer expresses skepticism about metal tips and tests them for their feel, durability, and impact on the iPad's screen. The mention of metal tips illustrates the variety of options available to Apple Pencil users and the trade-offs between different materials.

πŸ’‘Pressure Sensitivity

Pressure sensitivity refers to the Apple Pencil's ability to detect the force with which it is pressed against the screen, allowing for variable line thickness and color intensity.

πŸ’‘Screen Protector

A screen protector is a layer applied to the iPad's display to protect it from scratches and damage. In the context of the video, the reviewer mentions that certain screen protectors can cause Apple Pencil tips to wear down quickly. This highlights the interplay between protective accessories and the stylus, and how different combinations can affect the user experience and the longevity of both the screen protector and the Apple Pencil tips.

πŸ’‘Branding

Branding in this context refers to the visual identity and marketing of the replacement tip products. The reviewer notes the lack of clear branding on some packaging, which can make it difficult for consumers to identify and trust the products.

The reviewer's experience shopping on Amazon and the products' listings are integral to the narrative, as they set the stage for the testing and comparison of different Apple Pencil tip replacements.

The video explores the relationship between price and quality, with the reviewer assessing whether cheaper alternatives can offer similar performance to more expensive, branded tips. This aspect is crucial for viewers looking for value for money.

πŸ’‘Warranty

A warranty is a guarantee by the manufacturer to replace or repair a product if it fails under normal use.

Transcripts

play00:00

so I did something a little bit crazy I

play00:01

went on Amazon and I ordered pretty much

play00:04

all of the different options for apple

play00:06

pencil tip Replacements that they have

play00:08

available I did this because a while

play00:11

back I did a review of these replacement

play00:13

tips made by timovo and they've been

play00:15

pretty good I've been using them for a

play00:17

while no issues there but when I went to

play00:19

go look to order some new ones I saw

play00:21

that there's just a ton of new options

play00:23

available all different kinds there's

play00:25

metal tips there's different hardnesses

play00:28

and I don't know if they're any good

play00:30

so I thought you know what let's just do

play00:32

all of them and I'm just going to go

play00:34

through everything I got and tell you

play00:36

what I think all right so we' got a

play00:38

variety of different packaging some are

play00:42

just a little little baggy looks like

play00:45

nothing fancy this is pretty much how

play00:46

the OVO tips come there's not very good

play00:48

branding on most of these so it's hard

play00:51

for me to tell which ones they are this

play00:53

is replacement tips compatible four pack

play00:57

doesn't say who it's byy I guess I'm

play00:59

going to have to do research to tell you

play01:00

which ones these are these we will refer

play01:03

to these as the super generic ones now

play01:06

this I'm very skeptical of but I'm also

play01:09

a little bit interested so this is by a

play01:12

brand called peel peel in peel Inc p e i

play01:17

l i n k apple pencil tips so this one is

play01:22

fancy we've got this little case here

play01:24

and you'll see that there's labels like

play01:26

they're pencils 2B HB soft hard

play01:30

and then the middle ones don't know what

play01:31

those are I'm very skeptical if these

play01:33

are going to do anything I think a lot

play01:36

of this sort of emulation of a pencil is

play01:40

really going to come down to the brush

play01:42

that you're using and it's not like a a

play01:45

soft pencil is like squishy so I I don't

play01:48

know very skeptical now this pack is

play01:50

another relatively nice thing but

play01:53

there's again no real branding on this I

play01:56

think it's there's some Chinese letters

play01:57

I believe here again I'm going to have

play01:59

to do resear Arch on these so I don't

play02:01

know what we'll refer to these as but

play02:03

these are hard to open I should brought

play02:05

a little blade over here I get a blade

play02:08

so I mentioned in my last video where I

play02:11

tried out the cheapest paperlike

play02:13

experience iPad screen protector on

play02:16

Amazon and I said it was good and I've

play02:18

been using it for a while and it's great

play02:19

but it does wear down the apple pencil

play02:21

tips pretty quickly but that's the case

play02:23

with a lot of these things so that was

play02:25

sort of what prompted me to do this

play02:27

little test if you haven't seen that

play02:29

video check it out after this don't go

play02:31

don't go now so these are hard to get

play02:33

out so what we have here are metal tips

play02:36

sort of like the rock paper pencil one

play02:39

from uh astropad which I've had good

play02:42

luck with I don't know if these are

play02:43

going to live up to that they look like

play02:45

they're the same this one is shorter

play02:48

okay this one has nothing on it you know

play02:51

what we need to do I I think I need to

play02:53

literally just pull up my order so that

play02:55

I can see what we're dealing with here

play02:57

because clearly there's no labeling

play02:59

there's nothing I don't even know what I

play03:01

have Okay so this little baggie right

play03:03

here appear to be the a winner apple

play03:07

pencil tip Replacements this is a four

play03:11

pack that I paid $9.99 for so uh

play03:15

definitely an inexpensive option A

play03:17

Winner maybe I got to do my own I got to

play03:19

do my own branding for this I think so

play03:20

we can remember a winner that's their

play03:24

logo now okay one Mission solved this

play03:27

one we know about uh those are the

play03:29

peelink pink peelink okay here we go I

play03:32

believe this is the eight pack for apple

play03:36

pencil tip upgraded replacement so

play03:38

they're even calling out Apple saying

play03:39

that these are an upgrade so what we get

play03:41

here are actually so this was eight of

play03:44

them for $8.99 and there's a 10% coupon

play03:48

pretty wild okay so what they're telling

play03:50

us here is we've got this is silly so

play03:52

it's got these different pencil tips

play03:54

here and it's showing us line thickness

play03:56

and I I don't know if they've never used

play03:59

an apple pencil and an iPad but this

play04:01

this has no bearing on the line

play04:03

thickness you can make the brush uh 3 in

play04:07

wide and it's only going to make a line

play04:09

as big as your brush setting so that's

play04:11

wild so it looks like this eight pack is

play04:13

just two of each different metal tips

play04:17

and then regular tips and this brand is

play04:19

called inur Ein inur inur i n r e and

play04:25

that's their logo and now this last one

play04:28

is replace ment tips and this is by Mo

play04:31

Meco for iPad new made in China this is

play04:34

like a a jewelry box of some sorts

play04:37

o we have a image of a gold stamp tip

play04:42

once you've received our products please

play04:44

pull everything out of the package then

play04:46

play05:09

all the same they just look like every

play05:11

other replacement apple pencil tip I

play05:14

thought there was more than this let me

play05:14

just double check here to make sure they

play05:17

were're not missing anything oh yeah

play05:18

there's one more and it's these heinous

play05:20

metal ones that I don't know if they're

play05:23

heinous they just look they look very

play05:24

sharp oh no no no these aren't metal

play05:26

okay so this was a two pack and they

play05:28

look like they have tiny rubber tips and

play05:31

these were $7.99 for the two so I don't

play05:33

know maybe we can come back to those oh

play05:36

oh oh I found them they slit under my

play05:37

laptop these at least say the name on

play05:40

them six Fu tips B so we got those and

play05:43

then I got one other wild card option I

play05:45

recently bought the just the cheapest

play05:48

Apple iPad compatible stylus on Amazon

play05:53

for my 2-year-old because he is drawing

play05:56

on one of the old iPads we have and he's

play05:59

just scribbling he doesn't need the

play06:01

precise control he's gonna bite it who

play06:04

knows so I got him one it was like $5

play06:08

and it came with four replacement tips

play06:10

and at the time this came before

play06:12

everything else my apple pencil tip was

play06:14

pretty rough so I said let me just try

play06:15

one of these so I took one of these tips

play06:18

out put it right on my pencil I've been

play06:20

using it for like two days now and it's

play06:22

been fine pretty much the same as the

play06:25

timovo ones I've been using and I'm

play06:26

starting to think that they're all

play06:28

pretty much the same as except for these

play06:30

other ones that have like I don't know

play06:31

different techniques but this is the one

play06:34

that came on the cheap one it's getting

play06:37

a flat spot already but they all sort of

play06:40

do when you're using a a rougher screen

play06:44

protector but the fact that they all

play06:46

work and they're this cheap like even

play06:47

this this is a four pack for like

play06:49

including this stylus for like $5 and

play06:53

again the apple pencil tips are way more

play06:55

expensive than that to get started I'm

play06:57

going to take off this flat spot version

play07:00

of the these like random ones that came

play07:03

with this cheap apple pencil not apple

play07:06

pencil a cheap stylus that works with

play07:08

the iPad and I'm just going to screw it

play07:10

onto my pencil and screws on just like

play07:13

any other ones do fits well no issues

play07:17

there so there's it feels the same as an

play07:20

apple pencil tip like there's no

play07:22

difference for me the pressure

play07:24

sensitivity is good we can try this out

play07:27

with one of Kyle Webster's paint brushes

play07:30

which is really sensitive to pressure

play07:32

this color fill brush that you can use

play07:34

to like make a gradient so you can get

play07:37

super super light with this and I have

play07:39

no trouble doing like super light washes

play07:43

and then I can push and get really heavy

play07:45

no issues here with this I have lots of

play07:47

control okay so points for this cheap

play07:51

generic one let's move on to something

play07:54

fancy let's try these Mecha ones because

play07:57

they have a one-ear warranty and yet

play07:59

they look exactly the same as these

play08:02

other ones let's just look at them

play08:04

together I want to make sure I don't

play08:05

drop them because I would never be able

play08:07

to tell them apart these look they're

play08:09

the

play08:12

same yeah I it feels it feels exactly

play08:15

the same I couldn't tell you that

play08:16

there's any difference between these

play08:18

they feel lovely the Meco feels good

play08:20

these come with a one-ear warranty and

play08:22

there's four of them so you you buy

play08:24

these and then uh make them replace them

play08:26

for a full year unless there's some sort

play08:28

of silver line

play08:30

silver not silver lining if there's some

play08:31

sort of small tiny print tiny print

play08:35

what's that that phrase I don't know

play08:37

though these are hold on yeah they're

play08:39

identical I was going to say maybe one

play08:40

has like a shinier finish but no that's

play08:43

not the case they're the exactly the

play08:44

same okay so for some reason this feels

play08:47

like smoother let me just double check

play08:50

let's let's let's come back we're doing

play08:52

a a Meco Meco versus a winner Showdown

play08:54

here putting back on a

play08:58

winner I don't know if it's just like a

play09:01

manufacturing subtlety or like mixup a

play09:04

winner feels like a winner to me it's a

play09:06

little bit smoother than the Meco let's

play09:09

let's do uh like a double a double check

play09:12

so what I'm going to do is I'm going to

play09:13

take out another winner and then a

play09:15

different mecho and then we'll see if we

play09:17

put them head-to-head again if we get

play09:19

the same

play09:21

results I'm still getting that smooth

play09:23

feel so I'm going to put that back in

play09:25

the winter bag and I'm getting a freshy

play09:27

out of the Meco box

play09:31

all right so it's like five 5% 5% less

play09:36

smooth and I don't know if it's a bad

play09:37

thing and I don't know if the winter

play09:39

ones are a little more shiny they do

play09:41

look slightly more shiny so maybe that's

play09:43

a smooth thing I would be perfectly fine

play09:45

drawing with either that tells you

play09:46

anything but so far a winner is my

play09:49

favorite but these are just like the

play09:51

regular ones let's let's get a weird one

play09:53

so I'm going to open up the six Fu now

play09:55

these ones look complicated on the

play09:57

Amazon page like they have got like

play09:59

diagrams and like they make it seem like

play10:01

they're very fancy let's see if I can

play10:02

open them that would be useful tiny tiny

play10:05

package okay so these are kind of wild

play10:08

these don't look anything like the other

play10:10

ones we've got like a skinny little area

play10:12

that comes up and then there's a a

play10:14

rubber tip screws on fine let's see what

play10:17

this feels

play10:18

like interesting so if you've ever tried

play10:22

the pen tips I think the old ones where

play10:24

they were just like a rubber tip that

play10:26

went over your apple pencil that's what

play10:28

these feel like because it it is a

play10:29

rubber tip but it's like a tiny one

play10:31

teeny tiny rubber tip this feels better

play10:34

to me than those those rubber pencil

play10:35

tips did I think because those were so

play10:37

because they went over the apple pencil

play10:39

tip itself it made it really fat so I

play10:41

felt like you were drawn with like a

play10:42

really fat marker this is more precise I

play10:45

imagine that you couldn't get like the

play10:47

side stuff that you can do with some of

play10:49

the pencils now that's not something

play10:50

that I use like I don't do any like side

play10:53

pencil shading action so if you do it

play10:56

seems like this wouldn't be able to

play10:57

handle that so keep that in mind mind

play11:00

I'm reviewing this as someone who draws

play11:01

the way I do which you know looks like

play11:03

this weird stuff on my mat this I'm

play11:06

surprised by this cuz it feels nice it's

play11:09

got like a little bit of resistance I

play11:11

bet this would feel good on like a a non

play11:15

screen cover iPad because it's got that

play11:17

little bit of resistance and it doesn't

play11:20

seem like it would wear down that fast

play11:21

but I don't know it's hard to tell it's

play11:22

such a tiny little piece I don't know

play11:24

how durable this is going to be let's

play11:26

let's try out the pressure sensitivity

play11:27

on this so it's it's pretty good

play11:29

actually it's not I was expecting it to

play11:31

not work that well but like look how

play11:33

fine of that texture I can get can you

play11:35

can you see and then I can push harder

play11:37

this is a surprising one so these are

play11:39

the six Fu with the rubber tips te tetin

play11:42

Tana rubber tips all right let's let's

play11:44

try the Ein einor so we got lots of

play11:47

options here I'm skeptical if I'm being

play11:49

honest so let's just get these first

play11:51

ones out of the way I bet these are

play11:53

exactly the same as the other ones we've

play11:55

tried me go back to my retro spco

play11:57

classic anchor

play12:01

yeah it this is this is the same all of

play12:03

these like ones that just cck apple

play12:04

pencil tips are pretty much the same but

play12:06

I forgot we do have the ones here that

play12:07

are supposed to be different hardnesses

play12:09

so we'll have to try those out after

play12:10

okay so we are going here with the

play12:13

lowest profile metal tip where they

play12:16

claim different brush sizes in the image

play12:19

which we we know is not

play12:21

true okay this this feels fine I was

play12:25

expecting it to feel gross I once tried

play12:28

someone's Apple pencil that had like a

play12:30

really sharp one on it and it was it

play12:32

felt terrible can get scratchy I think I

play12:35

think it's like the angle because it's

play12:36

so small maybe sometimes I'm yeah okay

play12:39

so this is an issue with this one

play12:40

because the metal tip is so low profile

play12:44

you can easily like well it's not

play12:46

happening now but before it was like

play12:48

missing the tip and it wasn't working

play12:50

listen I can't demonstrate it right now

play12:52

but it happened I swear it happened

play12:53

actually I think this scratched my my

play12:55

screen protector get out of here I don't

play12:57

like you at all so that was the smallest

play13:00

lowest profile metal tip now this is

play13:02

like the medium one this one feels the

play13:04

same we'll draw piece of pizza okay so

play13:07

this one feels better than the other one

play13:10

I think because you don't have to worry

play13:12

so much about hitting this Edge where it

play13:14

like sits and I think that's what caught

play13:16

and scratched my screen protector which

play13:18

I'm not that happy about cuz this was

play13:21

the cleanest install I've ever done you

play13:22

can watch that in my previous video

play13:25

where I review the cheapest paper like

play13:28

experience on

play13:29

uh Amazon this screen protector is the

play13:32

ktc paper feel and it was $8 for a two

play13:36

pack when I bought it okay this feels

play13:38

pretty good let's um let's just do a

play13:40

quick pressure pressure run with this

play13:43

color fill brush Let's uh let's change

play13:45

up to color this time let's make it a

play13:48

purple so it's pretty good pressure

play13:50

sensitivity I don't think it's any

play13:51

different than the others maybe not as

play13:53

good as a regular pencil tip all right

play13:56

let's do this last one in this set and

play13:57

this is the long ER this is the longest

play14:00

metal tip I will say that this one feels

play14:03

exactly like the other two I wonder if

play14:06

because the tip is longer the pressure

play14:07

sensitivity is not as good I would say

play14:10

that's not the case it feels fine I

play14:12

would say that they made three different

play14:15

ones as a marketing gimmick because the

play14:17

only difference is the really short one

play14:19

feels terrible because you sometimes hit

play14:21

the edge but then the medium one and the

play14:24

large one work well I would say that if

play14:27

you're someone that wears down pencil

play14:29

tips quickly cuz you press hard this

play14:31

could be a cheap option because uh it's

play14:34

metal so it won't wear down as

play14:37

fast like it sort of seems like it can

play14:39

do some side action a little bit yeah

play14:43

it's fine so that was the inore and now

play14:45

we've got this pack here by peelink that

play14:49

has some different hardnesses to emulate

play14:51

pencils which again the pencil tip

play14:53

itself is not what does that it's the

play14:55

brush settings I'm going to eventually

play14:58

open this so let's try the 2B the 2B

play15:02

from initial Impressions seems like the

play15:05

same as any of the other generic

play15:10

ones it actually doesn't it has rubber

play15:15

Vibes it feels closer to the little tiny

play15:20

rubber tip one from the six Fu set I

play15:23

guess it's maybe like softer material

play15:26

this is kind of cool pressure

play15:27

sensitivity seems

play15:29

fine for what I do we could try it with

play15:31

the color fill

play15:34

brush yeah I

play15:36

mean there's like a mild disconnect

play15:40

maybe but I think it's just cuz I'm not

play15:43

expecting this rubber feel at the end of

play15:45

this tip be curious how it'll hold up

play15:48

but the fact that it's like squishy

play15:50

makes me think that it wouldn't wear it

play15:52

down as fast because it's not hard yeah

play15:55

I'm uh I'm surprised by this one let's

play15:56

um try out a different one so again this

play15:58

was the 2B let's try the HB I'm not

play16:01

going to lie to you and tell you that I

play16:02

remember from Art School the difference

play16:04

between these pencils cuz I haven't

play16:06

worked with traditional materials

play16:08

seriously in a in a very long time

play16:12

okay okay so this one the HB which I'm

play16:16

remembering now I believe is hard feels

play16:18

like a regular apple pencil tip maybe I

play16:21

need a uh I need to reset I need to like

play16:23

reset my you know like when you're

play16:25

tasting things and you have to smell

play16:27

coffee is that a thing like when you're

play16:28

at a candle store what am I talking

play16:30

about and you're like trying to you get

play16:32

the different scents and they got like

play16:34

coffee beans you got to go sniff them

play16:35

that's what I'm doing with this

play16:38

uh okay this is much harder I think okay

play16:42

that's that now let me immediately go

play16:44

back to my HP wish they look different

play16:46

so I could yeah okay so this is

play16:49

different it has hints of rubber it's

play16:52

like if a regular apple pencil tip was

play16:54

like 4% rubber which is a nice feeling I

play16:57

think like it's a little bit of

play16:59

resistance let's try the soft I don't

play17:02

know what the middle ones are who's to

play17:03

say maybe it's in between okay so the

play17:06

soft one feels a little softer than the

play17:09

2B it feels like those pen tips but like

play17:12

in an actual apple pencil it's probably

play17:14

what I think they have a new version

play17:16

this is probably what it's like this is

play17:18

good this is nice cuz it's got some

play17:21

resistance like it's not like that

play17:23

scratchy feeling all right let's try the

play17:25

hard now the hard I got to imagine feels

play17:28

just like the regular

play17:30

ones yes so I think this is an

play17:32

interesting set because these rubber

play17:35

rubber ones I don't even know if it's

play17:37

actually rubber but they feel kind of

play17:38

good I'm surprised about this this was I

play17:41

was very skeptical of these so this is a

play17:43

six-pack you know I'll have links to all

play17:45

of these below this is the one by Pink

play17:48

that was all of them I didn't do the T

play17:50

moo ones again because they feel exactly

play17:52

the same as you know these uh Mo ones to

play17:56

recap these Mo ones claim they have a

play17:59

one-year warranty which is wild because

play18:01

apple pencil tips do not last a year

play18:03

unless you don't ever use them so that

play18:06

could be a selling point for those the

play18:08

inore ones with the metal tips on six of

play18:12

them if you want the longest lasting

play18:16

thing this could be an option I would

play18:18

just throw away the first ones that have

play18:21

the smaller metal tip because those

play18:23

catch and drag the other two are fine

play18:25

and then the ones without the metal tip

play18:28

are just like any of the other

play18:29

replacement tips the a winners felt

play18:32

slightly smoother than any of the other

play18:35

regular style apple pencil tips I would

play18:38

be skeptical about like I don't feel

play18:42

like I should say that these are

play18:44

smoother than the other ones I don't

play18:45

trust that this is not just you know a

play18:48

manufacturing thing in this batch is a

play18:51

little bit smoother I imagine that

play18:53

because these all look so much the same

play18:56

they're probably all made in the same

play18:58

place and they're just like here's some

play18:59

of this for this and this and that maybe

play19:02

I don't know but in my test the a

play19:04

winners were the best regular generic

play19:06

ones the six Fu ones so these were

play19:09

interesting these had the teeny tiny

play19:12

rubber tips on them this was a two pack

play19:15

they felt pretty good if you like the

play19:16

feeling of like precise pen tip even

play19:20

though you can control that with the

play19:21

brush settings this might be for you

play19:24

because it's such a small amount of

play19:25

rubber on the tip and that it's kind of

play19:28

separate from the rest I think it might

play19:29

not be the best for full control with

play19:33

your apple pencil tip I think if you

play19:34

want that rubber feeling the pink ones

play19:37

were the best option I need to put an

play19:39

apple pencil tip on here right now I'm

play19:40

going to go with the HB from the pink

play19:42

set cuz I think that is the one that I

play19:44

enjoyed the most so hopefully maybe this

play19:47

saves you some money not having to go

play19:48

out and buy the very expensive Apple

play19:51

replacement tips maybe you canot worry

play19:52

so much about your screen protector

play19:54

ruining your tips because you know tips

play19:56

are cheap now all right good talk thanks

play19:58

for going on this journey with me
