iPad Pro Lens wipes on nano textured glass?

[Wind30]

Have anyone use lens wipes to clean the nano glass? It is stupid to carry around that specific cloth all the time. The cloth might get dirty and get particles trapped in it. That might scratch the iPad when you are cleaning it. I have lots of single use lens wipes for my camera lens and surely those are safer and more convenient? Has anyone tried it?

I have the same question about the new M4 MBPs. It's very frustrating that nobody seems to have explained why Apple says you should only clean it with this one cloth, and none of the third-party articles seem to do more than dunk on the concept of a $19 cloth. Even iFixit didn't do a real teardown.

The direction from Apple are very specific with their cloth and only occasionally cleaning tough spots with 70% alcohol. Since these screens are chemically etched to give the nano-screen, I’m not going to test my device on cheap, off brand lens cleaning tissues.

Will it hurt the screen? Who knows, probably not, but I’m not going to be the tester. I get your point because I too am a photographer. I use the Apple cleaning cloth as a buffer closed in the case for further protection. Then, it is always with me.

I know the nano glass is great for some people who really hate glare, but it's not much of an issue for me. Plus I prefer to have the full effect of the OLED screen. The nano screen doesn't look bad, but the colors don't seem as vibrant as on the non-nano screen. Lastly, the special cleaning requirements make me nervous.

I definitely get what you're saying here; I waffled on the macbook for a while before deciding to go for it, and I only did that because Apple put it on the iPad first, so clearly they did not think it was an issue for people to be touching it, or *scratching it with a plastic stylus*.

I will say that at least so far, it looks *incredible*. I am upgrading from an 14" M1 macbook pro, and the microLED display was already pretty phenomenal, but even in a room with pretty low light, I think the nanotexture looks even better. The highlights are still delightfully vibrant, and the inky blacks absolutely *swallow* light.

but the thing about the apple pencil is the part that really confuses me. This is supposedly a surface that artists can be pressing on, with variable pressure, which is to say "hard", all day, with the plastic nib of an apple pencil and it's apparently fine, but a pristine wipe from a sealed container, that will by definition never have any grit on it, that you can use on a $3000 camera lens is going to irreparably damage it? Come on, what extraterrestrial materials science properties would possibly explain those two things together?
(I will also not volunteer to be a beta-tester for this though, silly polishing cloth all the way until someone else with a way higher budget does the science.)
