Apple's Pro Display XDR With Nano-Texture Can Only Be Cleaned With Special Apple-Provided Cloth

[MartiNZ]

You're cleaning it wrong!!!

Sorry, I just had to do that.

I apologize once again.

Sorry.

I was right behind you!

 

[now i see it]

Anyone who can afford this "$7000" display (special coating costs $1000 more) can simply buy a box of Apple iRags to last for the next 10 years

 

[Porco]

If you can't afford the cleaning cloth this is not for you.

 

[velocityg4]

Chinchilla Fur or Vicuna wool are likely acceptable alternatives to meet Apple's discerning standards. 🧐

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

Ah yeah, here we go again!

 

[beaker7]

Pros don't clean their own displays. We just buy a new one if it gets dirty.

 

[macpanzer]

At least they allow the user to clean it. And do not require that the display is brought to an Apple store for cleaning

 

[bigandtasty]

You're Rubbing it wrong!!

 

[oneMadRssn]

I'm looking forward to buying this display used in about 10 years.

Makes sense but it's still pretty funny

"has been the butt of multiple jokes as Apple is charging $4,999 for the display, and an extra $999 for its stand." yah hahaha, so much cheaper than the $20,000 comparable reference monitors, what a joke!

 

[davidg4781]

Can’t we just get a glass screen protector, slap it on, and then just use our T-shirt to wipe it clean?

 

[MauiPa]

Will you be putting a grille in front of it so the uninitiated don't touch the screen with their donut stained fingers?

Or what about the annoying colleague who does spit-takes every time something remotely funny happens.

Gross!

Because Apple's first screen for professional use since the Cinema Display shouldn't have been some ultra niche curiosity. Just shows how out of touch they are.

The Cinema Display wasn't very 'Professional'... If you're complaining about this Display, then wouldn't you by default, be considered out-of-touch with the actual 'Professional' market?

500 for Apple "Special" Cloth

Yah, what gives. Charging only $4999 for a reference monitor when others go for $20,000. come on Apple

How could this get any more comical

I know, we could get some people knowledgeable about reference monitors, their specs, performance and cost to actually comment here. That would be hysterical

 

[ChrisMoBro]

It's like Apple is trolling us.

 

[aibo82]

What if you sneeze up the screen? That’s wet? And XDR porn WELL! That’s certainly more messy I guess 😂

do they have an apple guide for this?

 

[Pro7913]

Just make a monitor with a matte panel god damn it.

 

[orbital~debris]

I genuinely think this is fantastic!

Like it or not, it’s straight out the the classic-Apple era.

 

[MacGizmo]

I'm guessing a $49.99 price tag on the rag.

Where do I plug in an SDI feed?

 

[-narcan-]

Why bother cleaning it when you can just buy another one.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WIPE IT WITH YOUR APPLE CARD

The Onion couldn’t make this up...
