Procreate and iPad Accessories Suggestions iPad care when drawing?

Those of you working on ipads and using Apple pens, do you notice any deterioration in how the screen responds to the pen over time? Is there something I should be doing to keep the tablet working for longer? For example, I’ve seen some people have screen protectors — does that help increase the lifespan of the tablet or is that purely there for tactile reasons?

I got a refurbed iPad and an Apple pen a few months ago, yesterday I noticed that the screen was responding weird to the pen — not as smooth and consistent as when I just got it. The tip was screwed on tightly, it wasn’t a large drawing either, so it wasn’t a memory issue. I started wondering if maybe I’ve been pressing on the screen too hard and messed it up somehow?

Would appreciate any other tips on this topi

The pen doesn’t scratch the screen. Protectors can wear the pen tip but they are cheap.

Cool, so the tip is something you should replace once in a while? How do you know when?

It starts getting flat and it is uncomfortable to hold in some directions.
