| My favorite feature of this product is the store's "compatibility" matrix that gets updated with every new Mac/iPhone release. |
| |
| ▲ | BugsJustFindMe 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | One wonders what it is about the older devices that make them incompatible. Edit: I just asked Apple Support and they said it's also compatible with earlier devices and non-Apple products as well. It's just that the compatibility charts bottom out at the iPhone 5. | | |
| ▲ | karim79 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | Brilliant, thanks for saving us. I was worried if it would be incompatible with my M1. | | |

| ▲ | StingyJelly 10 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It even has full (unofficial) linux support! | | |

| The polishing cloth may be a joke, but I will say that I love the nano-texture display on my laptop. Expensive, and whether it's worth it to you is a personal evaluation. But I think it's awesome, and most people I talk to don't even know it's an option! |

| I'm stocking up now before the data centers start buying them all up. |

| Apple will be releasing packets of Apple-approved electrons to charge your Apple devices. Would you believe it - only costs the paltry sum of $2000 a pop! Charging cable with Apple-approved copper atoms will be extra, though; not that much, just $799. |

| How many millions in revenue could such a toilet papery product branded by apple gain? I know there are experts out there. Please do weigh in. |

| Love the tariff refund coming back to the customers pocket in a strong and meaningful way. A good move from Tim Apple here. |

| I’ll pay your $9, but is it too much to ask that you list the dimensions? I’m not forking over money to find out it’s the size of an iPhone 3. sigh, I guess I’m driving to the Apple Store this afternoon. |
| |
| ▲ | tedd4u 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Look, they are offsetting RAM-driven price increases: "In the U.S., pricing is now set at $9, down from $19 for the previous version of the cloth." |

| I hate that the overpriced polishing cloth was legit the best screen cleaning thing I’ve ever used. One wipe and my ipad was perfect. These days I use the cheap microfibers I got for the motorcycle and yeah it works but scrubbing my device like an idiot for several seconds just doesn’t feel quite as magical you know |

| ▲ | opengrass 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | I sure do love the Apple logo imprint it leaves on the screen, like my nanny's lipstick! |

| ▲ | mikestew 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Every Apple thread is required to have at least one person to say, “Wut? I can get <types spec sheet> for half that! Have fun paying the Apple tax! lol”. EDIT: (OP originally had an Ali link to cheap microfiber cloths, and then deleted it. Bad, bad OP.) | | |
| ▲ | deaux 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Huh? Read plenty of threads here on M series releases, never saw any. I do see them on "Certified Apple Polishing Cloth" threads because, y'know, such comments kinda make sense for this particular product. | | |
| ▲ | mikestew 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | Eh, one probably sees more of that on other forums, but it certainly happens. I was making a half-hearted joke about OP's AliExpress link (which I see they've deleted) more than anything, though. |

| ▲ | parineum 10 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Why do you think that is? | | |
| |
| ▲ | kec 10 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The Apple polishing cloth isn’t (ed: a typical split filament cleaning) microfiber, it’s some kind of synthetic suede. Feels soft not scratchy. | | | |

| ▲ | ezfe 10 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | You must be fun at parties | | |
| ▲ | miyoji 10 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | More fun than the kind of person who spends $10 on a rag, though. | | | |
| ▲ | opengrass 10 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Well if you want one, I'll undercut Apple by 50 cents, that is $8.50 (+9344%). HN-only special! |
