Can you use the pencil upside down as an eraser?
The pencil has sensors in it to tell what angle the pencil tip is at with precision. So is it smart enough, to it tell if it's upside down to erase something? Is it actually a pencil or a just pen?

Replacement tips?

AnswerI will guide you through the apple website where you can order 4 of them. Go to apple.com. Then press the magnifying glass next to the support button. In there write "Apple Pencil Tips 4 Pack" and press Enter. You will be able to see the product which costs 19$. If you don't live in a place where apple can sent orders (like myself) then there must be replacement tips in a retail store (not 100% sure). Hope I helped.
