I’m starting to kinda want one. But I really don’t want to spend $19 on it.
Got a tip for us?

I spray the cloth, not the display. Seems more effective to me and you don't end up with overspray going places you don't want it.
Headline in 6 months, “Lawsuit filed over polishing cloth…”
A slightly damp microfibre cloth (not Apple branded)
Well those people are just polishing wrong.
When I pick up my MacBook Pro later today, I won’t even be tempted to buy this. $20 for a cloth is so stupid, lol.
Impulsive purchase will pickup with MacBook, I really do need to something to clean the screen though
So is $20 for a charging brick but that’s the new apple….and people will buy it. Cloth sold out till mid Jan unless you go in store
Lmao! Man, she gets overly excited about everything Apple.
I remember when they used to include a similar cleaning cloth with the iMac Retina 5K 27". I remember when Apple was a decent company as well. Those days are long gone! Enjoy your $19 cloths. You will talk yourself into it being a sound purchase one way or another. You always do.
It’s part of her schtic…. It’s fake. And if it’s not….she need a TON of mental help. But id bet it’s all an act like most stuff is online for clicks
You can drape the cloth over the notch to make it disappear. Magical.
I think it is hilarious that people comment that folks are watching her for her looks. She's maybe a 7, on a good day. People apparently need to get out more! ?

Am going to buy one of these cloths for my 12.9 ipad 
I was crazy enough to spend £300 on just a Magic keyboard for it so £19 for a cloth doesn't seen so bad

What does this "special magic material" do that any other good quality microfiber doesn't?
It just feels snappier...

With all of those typos, I'd say that Magic keyboard isn't so magical after all ?Am going to buy one of these cloths for my 12.9 ipad

This appears to be the exact same cloth that comes with the Pro Display XDR. I am very particular about keeping my screen(s) clean, and I find this specific cloth to be only average, at best.
My preferred cloth for screens are here: https://www.photodon.com/p/360.html [NOTE: I have no affiliation with this company]
Just a bit of water or Whoosh! cleaner on one of these, and you're good.

It looks like you are exactly correct. So the cloth is not new, it is simply now being sold separately.
Which also means that it's been proven in the field for a couple of years, shouldn't have those new product teething issues!
