Apple Stores test Apple Pencils are being stolen

Apple's lack of foresight when it comes to having enough stock of the new iPad Pro accessories, has once again demonstrated Apple's rush to bring this new device to market as soon as possible before the arrival of the Christmas season, in which Apple devices are reasons for many purchases by users.

But also, in the case of the Smart Keyboard the case is even more bloody, because it is only available in English. Fortunately, in the Apple Stores they are also offering the Logitech alternative that if they are found is Spanish in addition to being somewhat cheaper.

The lack of Apple Pencil units and the imperative need for this type of device has triggered the resale of these devices on eBay, where we can find the Apple Pencil for about 400 dollars. These Apple Pencils come from users who have bought it but for whatever reason they can still do without it. So they take the opportunity to resell it at four times its price.

But we can also find Apple Pencil stolen from Apple Stores. In several Apple Stores in the United States, all available sample units have disappeared so that future buyers could test their operation on the iPad Pro before buying it, to see if they will really take advantage of it or not.

My Apple Store got 20 Pencils yesterday. They let one guy buy all 20.

Meanwhile, no in-store pickup, and online backordered 4–5 weeks.

This lack of Apple Pencil units is turning this device into a business. According to Marco Arment, developer of Overcast, the people who go to the Apple Store you are acquiring all available units for later resale on eBay. As usual, Apple does not pronounce on the matter and the only information that we can obtain about the availability of this device, we can obtain it from the Apple Stores, in which they offer a waiting period of four to five weeks to be able to get one .
