apple pencil charging

I'm in the same boat, iPhone Xs (not Max). Both it and my 1st-gen iPad Pro are on i/PadOS 13 beta 2, and both are no longer charging reliably.Additionally, my Apple Watch on watchOS 6 beta 2 isn't charging reliably either. My MacBook running Catalina beta 2 seems to be having issues too, but it's definitely not as pronounced as my iPhone and iPad, both of which struggle to get above 10% charge now. I've tried multiple chargers, outlets, and computers. For the iPhone, I've also tried with and without the smart battery case, over wired and wireless charging. No luck in any of it. The only reliable Apple devices I have right now are my desktop Macs and my Apple TV… I can't currently count on anything with a battery.

I have found a possible cause and a workaround to fix this problem. I found out that my pencilInteractionDidTap is not called if the view-controller that contains this interaction is presented via my own custom modalPresentationStyle. (Using my own Transitioning Controller) If I change the modalPresentationStyle to a standard (.fullscreen) when presenting the above controller, the interaction works fine. The problem could either be in my own transitioning code, or iOS. I have not investigated that part. Also, when I was experimenting by creating a fresh app from templates, I found out that I had to pair my Apple Pencil at-least once even if it was already paired. Not sure if the pencil needs to do re-initialization in order to send the interactions to the new app.

I thought I was imagining it! The house has been quite warm over the past few weeks (summer), but now when I charge my 6S+ in its official Apple-brand slip case, it cooks. If I forget to remove the lead when it is fully charged, it is still really hot several hours later. Funny thing is, that if I plug the phone in to charge while watching Netflix at full brightness, the phone gets quite warm, but nowhere near as warm as when it is charging with the screen off. I'm wondering if the battery is being overcharged and that's what is causing the extra heating?

I have the exact same problem . The pencil not pairing and only showing 3% battery . its surprising to see that the issue was reported 3 years ago and since then nothing has been done . Clearly shows that apple only wants people to spend money and doesnt really value their customers feedback .

Same issue. Class action may be in order. I wonder if ties to type of battery, but I know in my case with my MBA, I do not see an 'Battery Health' button. I was thinking possible I could unselect the option to ensure the battery could fully charge, only to realize that when I unplugged the computer shut off. For awhile it would just charge to 92% and get stuck. Essentially, it's not charging a completely good new Apple battery. Meh. This is not good at all. Come on Apple.

Never mind...It's because the account that I was using the pencil with was an Exchange account, not on my iPad

Technicall it's a Reverse Charge invoice in the EU. Apple has moved out of Luxembourg to Ireland so you won't need to pay any VAT.Just look up Reverse Charge and how your local tax authorities handle it (here in Germany you need to write a little statement that it's Reverse Charge and the VAT has already been paid by Apple). Doesn't matter if your registered for VAT or not. (Now you don't really need to send the invoice to Apple. I'm required to keep a copy of the invoice by my local tax authorities though so I print it out and put the print out into a folder. That's all.

i have the same problem but i think the solutions is : get your apple watch 50% charged

$0 Apple does not charge for distribution. They take a 30% cut in net.

This problem drove me crazy. Finally figured out that my new computer (Dell Inspiron) comes with an electronic pen that somehow connected to my iPhone's bluetooth. This pen (or any other external wireless keyboard) became my default keyboard so my phone's keyboard would not appear. If you have this problem, turn off your bluetooth and see if the problem goes away. If it does, EURIKA...you know where the problem is. Hope this is helpful.
