Polishing Cloth
- giuliomagnifico 5y agoNot a "polishing cloth", but "The best ever* polishing cloth" *untill the new model
- andy_ppp 5y agoDo the keyboards on the current MacBook generation still make a mark on the screen over time (which implies this will happen with the new ones too)? If so which way to protect the screen is recommended? A screen protector or a cloth to cover the keyboard area?
- nikanj 5y agoAt least my 16" does. The recommended way to protect the screen is to keep the laptop on a pedestal in a gallery, wholly untouched like Jony Ive intended.
- headmelted 5y agoWell what do you expect? Have you any idea how expensive it is to get diamond-cut chamfered edges ON FABRIC!?!?
- arpa 5y agoDisturbing lack of DRM. It should only be possible to polish apple devices with it. And, of course, any other polishing cloth should render these devices inoperable.
- rimliu 5y agoWhat if I told you that Apple had offered DRM free music for some 12 years now?
- forty 5y agoMusic is not an Apple product, maybe they don't really care.
- uuddlrlr 5y agoApple themselves don't use DRM much, and their systems generally aren't closed, just opaque.
- user_named 5y agoIt only lists support for cleaning Apple displays actually
- gregoriol 5y agoI've always wondered why Apple doesn't make those, and some cleaning spray too: the screens they make are really sensitive, and expensive, and I bet people often leave unexpected marks on them by trying to clean up
- DanAtC 5y agoThe original iPhone came with a black, screen-sized microfiber cloth.
- tinco 5y agoPretty sure my MacBook pro from 2009 did as well.
- KennyBlanken 5y agoI take it you haven't heard about Apple's long-standing problem with anti-reflective coatings flaking off their macbook screens. Just yet another defect they won't admit to publicly or do a recall over. You have to find out about the secret recall, before it's discontinued...
- gregoriol 5y agoI know about this: I used the recall once on a 2014 mbp, but maybe should twice now since the replacement screen shows some signs too after a few years...
- raihansaputra 5y agoI was about to get the recall but had an accident. I replaced the screen out of pocket, but it's stripped of the anti-reflection coating. Works well.
- saurik 5y agohttps://www.idownloadblog.com/2021/10/18/apple-polishing-cloth-sale/ https://www.idownloadblog.com/2021/10/18/apple-polishing-clo... > Apple also has a list of the devices that are compatible with this Polishing Cloth. For the iPhone lineup it goes back as far as the first-generation iPhone SE and the iPhone 6. The first-generation iPad mini is supported, and you can go back as far as 2015 for some iMac models. You can clean every model of the Apple Watch, and if you have any iPod touch models dating back to the fourth-generation iPod shuffle, this cloth will get it clean.
- uuddlrlr 5y agoDarn, the 5s got an iOS 12 patch along with the 6 just a few weeks ago, but it doesn't look like it included compatibility.
- altjsus 5y agoFinally! A usefull Apple product that I can afford.
- praving5 5y agoYes, you can also use it for shining shoes.
- lelandfe 5y agoApple is soon to debut their Polishing Cloth recycling program, where they remove and reuse the gold and diamonds that are woven into this $20 piece of fabric.
- paozac 5y agoI'm sure they've put some thought in the pricing strategy, like with the infamous $999 monitor stand. If you think $19 is ridiculous for a cloth (I do) then you aren't the target buyer.
- anatolinicolae 5y agoToo bad it's not compatible with iPhone 5s or earlier...
- tdrdt 5y agoI prefer the $99 cloth made by Monster. Their cotton is more pure and the cotton plants were exposed to classical music.
- celticninja 5y agoI expect it would be difficult to ascertain the difference between the monster one and a clothes hanger, unless you are real optiphile.
- rsj_hn 5y agoI'll hold out for the $299 version sold by an environmentally responsible coop run by legless Guatemalan orphans. For each napkin sold, they will plant a tree to reduce our carbon footprint (they themselves having no footprint).

- rado 5y agoHopefully it can help polish Apple critics' sense of humour.
- beardedscotsman 5y agoShame the comments here are not discussing the reason for them selling a cloth. The nano textured screen is easily scratched if you use paper towels or rough fabric. This just makes sure you have a material that is suitable. Secondly, the compatibility is just so it appears in the filters, and it’s not really to say it’s for use with an iPhone 6.
- dotancohen 5y agoAlso, this provides the support centers with an official, recognized part to wipe devices with. So every service center in every country does not have to scratch a customer's screen to discover what _doesn't_ work.
- tdrdt 5y agoI think the point is that you can buy fine fabric cloths like these for less than $5 And anyone who weares glasses will have them laying around.

- sqquima 5y agoWould rather wait for the polish cloth pro
- chrislusf 5y agoPolish cloth max will double the cleaning capability with 2x size, at $29.99, with unprecedented industrial leading price-to-area ratio.
- muzster 5y agoI presume this Cloth is covered by AppleCare. Would be terrified to drop it.
- trhway 5y agoNo Apple Care for it?!
- Taniwha 5y agoSadly the Apple Polishing Cloth has the worst resale value of any Apple product yet
- threatofrain 5y agoIs this the same thing as just ordinary microfiber cloth?
- rognjen 5y agoSurprisingly affordable. But I expected it to be white and red. One star.
- Markoff 5y agoClearly a premium product, it has Apple logo, rounded corners, beautiful color, I have been waiting for this for years, the experience with previous polishing cloths was just horrible!
- rectalogic 5y agoAnyone figured out a way to hack this so it can be used on non-Apple hardware - hackincloth?
- praving5 5y agoAlso, If you don't use officially supported Apple cloth, you could lose device warranty! So, beware! :-)
- wg0 5y agoNo kidding, but I know of markets (in subcontinent) where you can get a reasonable tailor made suite in that ballpark price.
