First, the iPhone stops coming out with cleaning cloth and now no sim ejector tool?

The original iPhone also cost $499 for a 4GB iPhone that came with a dock. I'd rather spend $330 for a 32GB iphone and a dock that comes separately.
I saw that on ebay before. It's not an iPhone cloth. It's a computer cloth.I bet for under 5$ you could find one on eBay. Trust me, I found an individual grey iPod sock on there, for 2$.

The reason I suppose it's not included in the new iPhone is that it is microsim. Before when people got a 3G or 3Gs, they may just swap the SIM cards. There isn't much need to swap a microsim.
Number of times I have removed my sim: whenever my phone dies and my mother's is functional because she never uses it. (Although I have never used a sim ejector tool)
Number of times I have used the cleaning cloth: at least once a week. It lives in my center console in my car.

I recently bought two iPhone clothes at the Apple store. Pretty expensive ($1300 and $2200), but on the upside they shipped with a 13" and 15" MBP in the box.
Those microfiber cloths were a great thing to include. I still use the three Aple-provided cloths that I got (from my iPhone, iPhone 3G, and MacBook Pro. Especially when purchased in bulk, they couldn't have been that expensive to stop including them. The SIM ejector tool was useful for me once, too. I have missed the included microfiber cloth with the iPhone 3GS, the iPad, and now the iPhone 4.
Why and how would somebody pull it from a Mac? I think it's a "knock-off" microfiber cloth with an Apple logo, not worth the money.
People do it all the time. It's is the same for the SIM eject tools. I bought it. I will let you know in about 4 days how it is. PM me if I forget.
They used to include docks and such wipth iPods. It's funny, the more money they make, the more cheap they become.
I really think that it is so Apple can avoid shipping bigger boxes. They are always bragging on how small they can get the boxes and save on shipping costs.
I was dissappointed today to find no sim tool, and here is why.
My 3G is jailbroken and tethers internet to my laptop. Until I can get my i4 to do this, I still need to use my 3G. I didn't bring my tool with me to work, didn't think I'd need it.
Found no new tool in the box. I couldn't eject it with a paperclip, OR push pin. Unlike my 3G, they seemed too big. I had to borrow a sewing needle from a coworker.
The good news is, the sim adapter did work in the 3G and it fired right up.

Great product. Lasts literally forever too. Just a tiny little spray on the cloth and a quick wipe down of the phone leaves it spotless.
