Apple's new $19 polishing cloth that it introduced alongside the redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models is now available for same-day pickup at many Apple Store locations across the United States and Canada.

Apple Store pickup is a much quicker way of getting the polishing cloth for those who haven't ordered one yet, as Apple's online store is currently quoting mid-January delivery for orders placed today in the United States. In-store availability can be checked by zip code or postal code on the polishing cloth's product page on Apple's website.

Apple says the polishing cloth is made with soft, nonabrasive material and can be used to clean any Apple product's display safely and effectively, including those with nano-texture glass like the Pro Display XDR. Note that Apple already includes a polishing cloth with the Pro Display XDR, but it does not include one with other products.

Those who were quick to order the polishing cloth when it first became available last week are now beginning to receive their orders.

The third-generation AirPods are also available for same-day pickup at select Apple Store locations in the United States and some other countries today, as are select configurations of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on my way!

I really needed this for when I watch po**hub and need to wipe my MacBook screen right after. The regular wipes just cant get the job done. Maybe they get fingerprints out but not what I get on it.

 

[AmazeSE]

Ok this joke is getting boring now.

Can't hardly believe how people get so excited over Apple's Polishing Cloths!

 

[MJaP]

What does this "special magic material" do that any other good quality microfiber doesn't? Or is this a case of The Emperor's New Cloths?

Waiting for iJustine’s level 10 of happiness and excitement review of the cloth before I pick it up. Also curious when ifixit will give us a repair score for it.

I bought one to keep in the packaging. Hopefully one of my grandkids can sell it at auction for $500,000 in about 50 years.


Or $30.

It keeps the notch clean!!

Kudos to the MacRumors employee who was able to write a full story about the $19 cloth and resist the temptation to make any snarky reference about how absurd it is. A Kaufman-esque performance.

Woo hoo!

Mine is still stuck at prepare to ship 😂 it must be blessed and touched by Tim Cook hands. That’s why it’s taking it’s time.

Not going to lie… I do want the Apple cloth in color black or product red.

 

[flottenheimer]

Seriously, I wonder if it is any good (like, really good) at removing fingerprints etc, without the use of any kind of cleaning liquid.
That would be very useful, actually.

Also, I wonder if it is washable. (That would suit the "sustainable Apple" narrative really well).

I am waiting for reviews of the polishing cloth, from all those YouTubers being in cloud 9

 

[jon9091]

How much is AppleCare for one of these bad boys?

 

[WWPD]

The FOMO is setting in...must not order...

Just kidding.

The polishing cloth genuinely looks high quality and a big improvement on the polishing cloths that have been included with some Apple products in the past (e.g. iMac, with it's thin dark fabric cloth that's akin to spectacle cleaning cloths).

Looking forward to receiving mine.

Jokes aside, what do you guys use to clean your macbook screens? My 2019 16 macbook pro screen is filthy..

(e.g. iMac, with it's thin dark fabric cloth that's akin to spectacle cleaning cloths)

Ah, I was wondering where my black Apple microfiber cloth came from! It was given to me by a family member a few years ago, so I never really knew the product of origin.

I was thinking the same thing lol

 

[Octavius8]

Feels surreal…
Reminds me of that tv show, Preacher… “made with babies foreskins…”.

 

[Phil77354]

I was just at the Apple Store two days ago to get my new iPhone 13 Max Pro, if they would have had these cloths in stock and available for sale then, I would surely have purchased one.

 

[jonnyb098]

According to this video it’s actually better than most people think.

 

[AngerDanger]

Great, I can't wait to clean off my MBP with this bad boy.

Ahhhhhhhhh, that's the stuff!

 

[DotCom2]

Can't hardly believe how people get so excited over Apple's Polishing Cloths!

But it's MAGICAL and has an Apple Logo on it!

Wonder what the open-mouthed hair-flick-ometer will read.

Wait, people use screen cleaning sprays on their displays in stead of just a damp corner of a cloth? Why?
