If they do a teardown and toss it under a microscope I’d actually be super impressed

To the Apple Polishing Cloth buyers in here, put it in your signature, so we can better pick on you…
No one’s excited about the polishing cloths except the editors of this website. (Autocorrect just tried to change “editors” to “idiots”. For once, I think autocorrect may have a point.)
Time to change the name of the site to “Polishing Cloth Rumors”.
Two in one: cleans Mac and THE Notch. On a serious note, 
should be giving this free with Macs.

Looks like the MBP is available for pickup today at almost all stores. Seems strange that delivery is pushed out until Nov/Dec...
I would never dry polish a computer screen--if there's any grit on it, you're just creating scratches by drawing the grit acoss it. I'd only use one of these as a dust cloth, very lightly brushing it across the screen. But that's not going to get most screens clean.
Nineteen dollars with a $19.00 deductible. AppleCare+ includes an Apple sticker and a refrigerator magnet.
But wet polishing isn't good either. (I remember getting a small metal particle on my Treo phone, and the stylus picked it up, and wow did it leave a scratch! Steve was right to want to avoid styli. I stratched the hell out of a pair of sunglasses even after dousing them with glass cleaner juice. Suckage happens)
...and there will be tutorial videos produced by Apple showing the proper method for using the cloth.
"Greed" is now raised to a whole new level!
Wonder when the "pro version will be released for just 99$ each.

That's got to be a tough job. From all the kvetching over 'The Notch', I'd expect it to be four feet wide, and at least a foot and a half tall!
Not sure if I can post links to Amazon, but I use Grime Boss Touch Screen Wipes. Don't seem to scratch or contain a lot of liquid so should be safe for most electronics. Also individually wrapped so you can toss a few in a bag.
Cant wait for iFixit new unravel process and mend score, for sure they will also offer the iFixit Sewing Kit with matching thread!
I use these things, and a single shot of Windex (on the 'towel', not directly on the screen). I get three for $7.48. I can't get AppleCare for them, but at that price, and the size and quantity, I'm good. They launder well, and though they can snag, they have lasted quite a while, so far. I can also use them on other things around the house, and cars, without voiding the warranty. (Sorry for the snark, but couldn't resist)
And how can she get a loaded Mac Pro, and was it TWO of those sell your arms and legs to afford monitors WITH stands? Who did she kill?
