My pencil updated from 0121.0181.0543.0049 to 0128.0186.0543.0053 but still not the 37377.37377.16.0.

Let's see how long it takes.

My pencil updated from 0121.0181.0543.0049 to 0128.0186.0543.0053 but still not the 37377.37377.16.0.

Let's see how long it takes.

37377… was a USB-C pencil update from April, mentioned only to show that the version # doesn't match on-device.

Is the firmware update for the latest Apple Pencil Pro only or does it also include the previous generation Apple Pencil Pro?

 

[ab22]

There is only one generation Apple Pencil Pro, so far - released in May 2024. The update is for that one.

Wow, mine hasnt updated in over 48 hours, has been sitting on the iPad charging, used it for a bit, put it back on, still at .0049. Wonder why!

I think you have to stand on one leg and twirl the iPad removing and adding the pencil………..

Just seems to be random as to why and when the pencil and or Air Pods upgrade

 

[transmaster]

I don't use my Pencil very often and I discovered zero charge so I would imagine that it needs to get to something like 50% to start the update.

By the way I discovered I can charge the Apple Pencil Pro on my standard Apple Magsafe charger. This will make it easier to keep it charged up.

OK my pencil has updated to 0128.0186.0543.0053

[yogeewan]

Yes it finally did at some point! No idea how, when and where

i found that i didn't turn on the ipad password. The firmware has been updated after i turn it on. I am not sure that is the reason why it's not updated, but finally, the firmware is update to the latest version.

This is a follow-up on being able to charge the Apple Pencil Pro on a standard MagSafe Charger. It does, but the positioning on the Apple charging disk has to be so precise as to make it not worth the effort. with no charge indicator on the Pencil, you cannot tell. I put a meter on it, and I could only tell by using it if the Pencil was charging a tiny bump out of position and it stopped charging. I mitigated the problem by getting a Zugu case, which allows you to carry the Pencil without fear of losing it.
