Apple Releases New Polishing Cloth

My favorite feature of this product is the store's "compatibility" matrix that gets updated with every new Mac/iPhone release.

One wonders what it is about the older devices that make them incompatible.

Edit: I just asked Apple Support and they said it's also compatible with earlier devices and non-Apple products as well. It's just that the compatibility charts bottom out at the iPhone 5.

Brilliant, thanks for saving us. I was worried if it would be incompatible with my M1.

Perform a dry run first, to be safe

Will provide feedback once I get the iTowel.

The underlying data must be used to cross sell. I added a Neo to the bag and the next screen included it in the accessories list.

It even has full (unofficial) linux support!

I’ll pay your $9, but is it too much to ask that you list the dimensions? I’m not forking over money to find out it’s the size of an iPhone 3. sigh, I guess I’m driving to the Apple Store this afternoon.

Look, they are offsetting RAM-driven price increases: "In the U.S., pricing is now set at $9, down from $19 for the previous version of the cloth."

I'm stocking up now before the data centers start buying them all up.

The polishing cloth may be a joke, but I will say that I love the nano-texture display on my laptop. Expensive, and whether it's worth it to you is a personal evaluation. But I think it's awesome, and most people I talk to don't even know it's an option!

I hate that the overpriced polishing cloth was legit the best screen cleaning thing I’ve ever used. One wipe and my ipad was perfect.

These days I use the cheap microfibers I got for the motorcycle and yeah it works but scrubbing my device like an idiot for several seconds just doesn’t feel quite as magical you know

I sure do love the Apple logo imprint it leaves on the screen, like my nanny's lipstick!

How many millions in revenue could such a toilet papery product branded by apple gain? I know there are experts out there. Please do weigh in.

Love the tariff refund coming back to the customers pocket in a strong and meaningful way. A good move from Tim Apple here.

Apple will be releasing packets of Apple-approved electrons to charge your Apple devices. Would you believe it - only costs the paltry sum of $2000 a pop! Charging cable with Apple-approved copper atoms will be extra, though; not that much, just $799.
