You Probably Won't Be Able to Get Apple's New Polishing Cloth in Time for the Holidays

[Moonlight]

If any of you saying people are dumb for buying this have name brand clothes, or pain killers, or glass cleaner...you are just "as dumb". My point being no one is dumb, some just get satisfaction out of name brand or branded items. That little apple logo on this cloth brings some joy, just like the name Advil or the Nike logo.

Id buy it if it were $50. Not buying this cheap rubbish.

So when is someone going to start a "Polishing Cloth Preorder Tracking Thread" and start tracking flights from China?

They probably cost 5 cents to manufacture. That would be a 39800% markup.

I can't believe Apple has the gall to sell a $20 polishing cloth as if it's something special. And people are stupid enough to pay that much.

And yet I ordered two of them! Even ordered them early so they're scheduled to arrive by Oct. 26!

Ok by me, am holding out for PolishClothPro anyway

Everything Apple sells is overpriced, it is the so-called Apple Tax. So it is funny that Apple fans are mocking people for buying an overpriced cloth. You've also bought something overpriced if you ever bought an Apple product.

Woe is me.

Darn. I was hoping to get one of these for everyone on my Christmas list.

“has proven to be wildly popular”. Says who??? How do we know how much were produced?

This. It's clearly the global microchip shortage affecting supply

Global microfiber shortage

I think I might wait until version 2 comes out.

I should have held out for the Cloth Pro Max.

I honestly think those cloths and other overpriced items are the ones that support the free shipping, product replacements and returns etc...

I was going to comment on this then saw a newer article with the perplexing comments disabled label so I am boycotting commenting on this article. Me: My comments are disabled

I wonder when the review embargo is going to lift on these.

 

[BeatsByTim]

I've got mine ordered. Going to use it to polish off me nuts.

If you ever needed an indicator that this is a company in which to invest…
Bonkers.

No polishing cloth for the holidays
What am I going to do
Let’s just postpone the holidays

There aren't a lot of disappointed apple investors out there. You're posting on a fanboy forum full of folks frothing at the mouth for a microfiber cloth.

I feel like this should be included in purchase of anything apple sells that has a screen

Right now: It's soft

You cannot blame Apple for putting things out that people will buy at such a premium.

Absolutely. Everyone knows these have 5G chips in them.

I was curious what that is so I searched for it and every web result comes to threads here.
