AirPods 3 and Polishing Cloth Orders Begin Shipping Out to Customers

[dcingie]

I saw that Apple is offering a 6-month free Apple Music trial for people that own select AirPods etc. Can anyone confirm if you are still eligible for this if you’ve already activated the long-standing 3-month Apple Music trial? I saw new subscribers only. I’m not sure if I would be considered a subscriber at this point. Anyone been thru this already?

If I had the where with all I would make a video spoof of the cloth cleaning a badly scratched phone and it coming up brand spanking new shiny.

 

[entropys]

You and, apparently, millions of others!

It is, and will be for all time, the ultimate in Apple gag gifts for as long as Apple continues to make ‘em.

I remember the iPod socks.

 

[Unregistered 4U]

I can't wait to see the unboxing videos of the cloth! so excited

Those cloth unboxings are going to get millions of views, guaranteed!

 

[Unregistered 4U]

Keep it up and you’ll be able to snap your cloth in two.

I hope someone does a bend test… and a moh’s hardness scale scrape.

I don’t get the polishing cloth hype

I mean, it certainly makes sense for the XDR display, since its surface isn’t perfectly smooth (IIRC, it’s a textured matte finish) and the matte finish could likely be ruined by cleaning cloths not designed for it. And they may incorporate similar finishes in future products. But it’s certainly partially a meme, and I’m sure some people will use it as a status symbol (despite it being a very stupid one).

 

[kc9hzn]

The genius that suggested that they sell a square of material that cost 49 cents for $20 bucks should get a raise.

Manufacturing tolerances probably aren’t that cheap. Cost to manufacture, I’d guess, is somewhere in the $5 to $10 range, but that’s just a random guess.

I expect the Apple Cloth Pro Max next year for $49.99 ?

 

[Cycom]

20 bucks for a…cleaning cloth.

A fool and his money is soon parted.

 

[JohnE121]

Wait for the unboxing videos. Then you will…. no probably not then either…

I am really hoping iJustine does one.

 

[matrix07]

Waiting for Galaxy Cloth from Samsung...

?

You jest but.. but..

No, it's not gonna happen is it?

 

[ThisBougieLife]

^Samsung will make fun of Apple's polishing cloth in ads, then come out with their own, priced exactly the same. Pixel Cloth soon to follow.

 

[spritle]

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!

 

[The Barron]

I expect Used Apple Polishing Cloth vending machines to be deployed in Japan.

and Ginah too

 

[Daws]

Will the Polishing Cloth be replaced by iToiletPaper?

 

[Abazigal]

The packaging for the cloth is amazing.

[MathersMahmood]

Can’t wait to try my new AirPods. The cloth is a troll.

 

[Dammit Cubs]

omg my polishing cloth!!!

I would serious use that cloth for everything. gun shot wounds, knife fights, curing cancer. you know...... "magic"

 

[tobybrut]

Wait for the unboxing videos. Then you will…. no probably not then either…

We know Lee at Unboxed Therapy will certainly unbox these. After all, he did it with the Mac Pro wheels and he didn’t say a word through the entire video. I foresee a similar video for the polishing cloth.

 

[tobybrut]

Apple Cloth Pro looks interesting.

I’m waiting for the Apple Cloth Pro Max before I get one. I think I can hold out till then… maybe.

 

[Taladin]

Waiting for upgraded version that is ,Find my cloth’ compatible or at least air tag! I’ll never find mine after first use!

 

[lexvo]

My AirPods 3 arrived this morning

 

[WLSON]

There isn’t any. Whilst many are getting it for simply for the jokes, Apple meanwhile will take it as further evidence that they can charge what they like, for whatever they like, and some will pay.

I get joking about it and making fun of it, I've done it too, but I don't then feel the urge of buying it ... that is what I find concerning.

Didn't quite work out for the HomePod

I am really hoping iJustine does one.

iJustine will do anything to get on Apple's good side, including a video dedicated to a god damn cleaning cloth.
