Apple Releases Polishing Cloth for $19

[1147402]

$19 for a single polishing cloth. Sure, I'll take one with my $1,000 Apple Pro XDR Display stand, please.

It actually came with the XDR, not the stand. I did purchased both (XDR + Stand) and it's honest the best you can get for a normal computer if you can afford it.

Best polishing cloth ever, i just ordered me 300 pieces to sew a pullover.

The juvenile whine-fests here never disappoints.

The juvenile whine-fest here never disappoint.

Seems to me that most people in this thread are having a laugh about it. I don't see much whining.

 

[Morichan]

Words can’t describe…

They used to include these with iMacs. Why is Apple getting more and more cheap as a company? The money they're saving by not including this with new machines is such a tiny drop in the bucket.

Not cheap, pure outright greed at this point.

 

[Wags]

Something innovative for the next ‘designed by apple’ book.

 

[NoGood@Usernames]

I can polish my $500 wheels

Yes, both the ones on your Mac Pro and on your vehicle! 😁

Due next: Apple windex

Apple Juice

Does it not come with one? I thought I saw an unboxing video that showed a polishing cloth in the box. It could also be the Mandela Effect. 🤔

They probably removed it from the box going forward for environmental reasons. Now you'll need to have a cloth in a box shipped to you.

I remember when the black polishing cloth came with every Mac, at no extra cost. I still use them.

For the price, I expect at least two included in an order. A third can be included just pay $10 S & H.

Cleaning screens or whatever with a cloth may damage items if there is dust, since works as a sandpaper for sanding. It is much better to use other methods, like a duster with static electricity that traps the dust instead.

Apple definitely knows the paper towel and tissue paper are in demand, so why not go premium. I now present you…

 

[Superhappytree]

This should have been free! What a RIP off 🙁

I guess we are going to need it to clean the notch.

Unfortunately this Apple cloth isn’t magical and doesn’t have the special powers to completely wipe that botch of a notch clean off the display.

1 out of 5 stars (nice Apple smell though).

They used to include one with MacBook Pros.

 

[Black.Infinity]

How this cloth and iPhone USB-C power adapter are the same price?

 

[rpmurray]

I can't find any tech specs on the Apple site for it. Anyone know how many square inches the Polishing Cloth is?

 

[ey4eypol]

Courage. Unapologetically courageous.

I can't order this until I see the iJustine review. . .

Not buying it until there is a proper unboxing video. . .

me too

IFix it tear down soon

And I need to see that as well, before committing to one of these . . .

Is today 4/1?

 

[Klschmann]

I'll buy once we can add to Find My.

Apple today released a microfiber Polishing Cloth accessory, designed for cleaning the screens of Apple devices, for $19.

Although today's "Unleashed" Apple event focused on the Mac in terms of hardware with a screen, Apple tables an expansive "compatibility" list on the Polishing Cloth's store page, featuring iPhone, iPad, Mac, iPod touch, and Apple Watch models dating back several years.

Apple usually advises caution when cleaning its nano-texture glass option on the Pro Display XDR and 27-inch iMac, but the new cleaning cloth is apparently appropriate for use even on these displays.

The Polishing Cloth was added to the Apple Store alongside the third-generation AirPods, new HomePod mini color options, and high-end MacBook Pro models and is available to order now. The polishing cloth does not come with the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, so if you want an Apple polishing cloth for these devices you will still need to purchase one separately.

Is it compatible with non-Apple products? 😛

I have a hundred soft cloths around me. People think I’m psycho but I can see my screen and my pictures look good.

That said if people buy this and finally wipe their lens before taking pictures. Let them rip people off. I don’t care. No more hazy pictures.

Guys, it’s finally out of beta (RC), and now 1.0

It should only get better from here.
