I can't remember having one free with anything. Maybe there was one with my iPod Video that I left in the box, I remember that having iTunes on disc that less tech savvy people were asking to borrow when Apple left you to go online and download it.
I definitely didn't have one with my iPhone 4 or 5s.
Compatible with an iPad Mini OG but not the iPhone 5s which is visually the same as the SE... right. The size might actually be useful, if it's bigger than other cloths that cost a few quid, people might actually be swayed to buy it. Likewise the materials.
Gotta get the money in to give out the free bags at the Apple Store. I thought the bag tax would be the end of them (UK), when I bought the Mini 5 they were still giving them out for the bag charge but they've now gone for a cardboard one with thicker handles.

If it was big I might actually consider it. But they don't even state the size! Might be great for eyeglasses as well.
I wonder when they’ll start piece-milling everything — selling it individually like it’s “revolutionary”.
I’m going to guess it will still start messing up the coating if you apply more than featherlight pressure, that seems to be the mistake people make with cleaning… unfortunately you can’t ‘scrub’ to get rid of a smudge or stain without wrecking your display.
Not even kidding, says so on the compatibility list lol
Good idea - a future update should bring Spatial Polishing.
Is there a list with compatible devices?
Apparently there is.
Polishing Cloth
Polishing Cloth
Made with soft, non-abrasive material, the Polishing Cloth cleans any Apple display, including nano-texture glass, safely and effectively. Buy now.

And it’s only compatible with the iPhone 6 and later, it seems.
I have an XDR and I absolutely love the cloth that came with it, it almost feels like the soft side of a piece of leather and it cleans so well it squeaks as you swipe it on the screen.
Plus it's way thicker and stiffer than the old cloths that used to come with Apple products.
I mean $20 is still kinda crazy for a cloth, but it's very nice lol
Can you measure its dimensions and tell us what they are?
Don't forget the Mac Pro Wheel Kit! They are no longer $700, but $869 is reasonable when you factor in all the chip shortages.
When the cloth arrived and i saw the box I was like “OMG, it cannot be this small”. but after opening it, the size is pretty decent.

I really want this cloth. It’s actually two cloths stitched back to back.
No kidding, I would not touch my new MacBook Pro with any cheap cloth.
Please Apple get the stock level up.

Sold out because they were not being produced much in the first place. Then this new Macs came out and people wanted a cloth with it. If they going to spend $3K then $20 bucks more is nothing.
