Apple's New $19 Polishing Cloth is Sold Out Until Late November

I like it, but I hesitate to buy the first version of a product. Apple has to prove themselves in the polishing cloth space.
$19… and this isn’t even the Pro version that’s sure to follow.

I read someone say dish soap and water.
Assuming it is the same one that came with the Pro XDR display which it probably is.

Brilliant move by apple.
Despite all the ridicule, they'll still probably sell a million units a year; when you consider that it's nearly entirely profit, that's another 20M or so to their bottom line.
I'm pretty sure there's a product manager tasked with combing through their spare parts & accessories list to work out what else they could sell directly for a huge markup.

I know tons of people like this. They’d be on me for buying a $19 cloth but go out and spend $8 every day on a pre diabetic cup of sugar coffee from Starbucks.
Damn, I was hoping to get one to clean off this awful black blotch that came on the screen of the brand new $5000 MacBook I purchased.
Anyone who buys one of these deserves to wait indefinitely for it.
On the one hand I mostly like my Apple products. On the other, I cannot even fathom the kind of money people must have to buy some of the things Apple puts out. To people who bought decked out Mac Pros including the $400 wheels and the monitor with its $1000 stand, what’s another $400 for a leather airtag holder or a $20 piece of cloth?
I wonder how many of those people who purchased this at <$20 gave even just that same amount to any charity over the last year.
And this is why apple feels comfortable charging $19 for a single cleaning cloth.
