Check out this video from Zach Straley that tests the breakability of the Apple Pencil while plugged into the iPad Pro and its resistance to bending.

The Apple Pencil holds up surprisingly well due to a hinge mechanism that is build into the top of the pencil.

Take a look below...

With a 86 mAh battery you shouldn't have to worry about charging it for long. Apple advertises "15 seconds will get you half an hour of usage". So it'll be fully charged in roughly 6 minutes. If you think you'll break it in 6 minutes, go return the $1,000+ of products you purchased.

Ummmm what happen to Steve Job's favorite quote "who needs stylus??" in first iPhone announcement? We are going backward folks

You wish we were going backwards because 1. Apple PENCIL is not like any stylus, 2. What did Jobs say that quote to? the iPhone, iPad, etc.? 3. Jobs also said they didn't want to do bigger screen, but Apple today didn't have a choice with that.

Sadly this was such a stupid design idea on apples part the way it charges. Someone can walk by while the pencil is sticking out and fling your iPad right to the ground...

The pencil can last another 30 mins with 15 secs of charging. If you are so unlucky to have someone break it in that 15 secs then you shouldn't be able to own an Apple product. If you need a full charge, use a USB port and adapter. Or wait for 6-8 mins for it to charge.

I am more concerned if the charging port on the iPad broke, but yeah I agree with you all.
