Apple's Polishing Cloth is Finally Back in Stock

I use regular microfibre cloths that I bought off Amazon for £2. They work just fine.
I'm tempted to buy one of these just to make you all angry.
Maybe there's a chip in it so you can sync it to your iCloud account.
While I was tempted to get one for the lulz, as it were, I did buy a dozen microfiber cloths off Amazon a while back for $3. Four times the size, more interesting colors, and a dozen to boot.
Why weren't these included with every iMac or MacBook purchase instead of more Apple stickers?

What's funny about the product page at Apple is that the other recommended products at the bottom are the Pro Wheels ($699) and Pro Stand ($999). It's like all of the truly ludicrously priced products are all part of the same delusion.
Don't buy one. Its been out for too long. A new revised and upgraded version is coming out soon enough. It can polish 10% faster than the previous one. Plus they will come in colors! They will be slightly more expensive but its new so just buy it.
Yes. Bought it a week after so called “launch day”, and boy was it hard to find it anywhere. At first I thought it was a strange beast: I took it out from the package and tried to wipe the screen of my beloved MBP 14. It didn’t work out: just left smudges with no signs of cleaning. I was disappointed since in my country it cost around 40$ (with all the currencies). Then I’ve added a little bit of water and it magically cleaned all the surface. I have a feeling it works better on Mini-LED screens since I tried Whoosh on iPad 12,9 and it was a pretty bad experience
I was cleaning out my desk drawer recently when I came across the booklet/warranty card/stickers that came with my old 2010 iMac (still my primary desktop). And lo (but not necessarily behold), at the back of that pack was an Apple-branded screen polishing cloth! Still in its nylon pouch! And a black one to boot! I'm going to put it in a safe deposit box; maybe it'll pay for my kids' college one day.
Oh and you know what else came with a black Apple-branded polishing cloth? My iPhone 3G back in 2008. I got two of them now.
On a more serious note, this is worth a read: https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-19-is-apples-favorite-price-for-accessories-11637686800

I'm holding out for the branded roll of toilet paper. Word has it, it'll be 5-ply and only $5/roll!
She seems to be very self aware in that video. But can you blame her? Lady is a multimillionaire for being an apple fan.

Must be me. I couldn’t care less nor will judge what anyone chooses to do with their own money or what Apple chooses to make available in their product line.
Want a 20 dollar cleaning cloth? Knock yourself out.
Want 700 dollar wheels for your computer? Have fun with it.
I just don’t understand the overly judgmental nonsense from some people who can’t stay in their own malcontent lane. Buy (and do) what makes you happy and don’t worry about other people.
Maybe there’s my answer. The hole in their soul is only filled by judging and attacking what others choose to do with their life.
/Rant complete.

Do none of you have some of the old microfibre cloths that used to come with Apple‘s computers? I probably have a lifetime supply of those as I always took them out when reselling my computers…
What makes these better?

Even Apple didnt expect anyone to buy it outside of the XDR display.
