And that's £19 in the UK. Obviously the parity in price figure takes into account the research & development, cost of components and transport meaning it equates to 27$ over here.
 
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.
 
I wonder if it can effectively clean the display, without using any kind of screen-cleaner liquid.

Just ordered a 14-inch Pro (M1 Pro, 1TB, 32GB RAM) - Yay! I really do not want to mess up the coating on that display...
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.
 
Next up: Cloth Gate

Apple 19$ cloth removes coating.
You are holding it wrong :p
 
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 :D

Can you measure its dimensions and tell us what they are?
 
I bought two - when I picked up my new laptop this week. They are not sold out everywhere 10-12 week wait. Hilarious.
 
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.

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.
 
For those that received one already, what’s the dimensions? Apple doesn’t give that info and I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet. Is it pretty thick?
