That comment about the new "Apple Polishing Cloth" is hilarious. 20$ for a piece of cloth... Glad the battery is easier to replace, though (speaking from experience!)

But it's an artisanal cloth made of unicorn fur!

  The lint must be picked one-by-one off the unicorns with extra small tweezers that can only be held by child laborers!

    Not just any child laborers, mind you: your $20 are getting your the finest Uighur and political prisoner labor money can buy!

The cleaning cloth was sold out immediately. $20 is a ton for a cleaning cloth, but a small price to pay for consumers of apple products. Here is the alternative (personal experience) 1. You search on amazon 2. Get presented with 1000 products 3. Read some reviews, wonder if this is the best product for your iPhone, will it work on the laptop 4. decide you don't really need a cleaning cloth The apple solution, solves your problem for a price. I haven't bought the apple cloth, but have and am considering it.

  It’s not really that much effort, is it? You just buy a cleaning cloth? No? Unless of course all the while one was disturbed at the very thought of not having this revolutionary invention of Apple A Cloth That Just Cleans™ at home.

  Also: It's apparently not just an overpriced accessory, but a necessary cleaning tool for the Pro XDR display with nano surface: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-pro/clean-pro-display-xdr-apd1cf09caf2/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-pro/clean-pro-display-xd... Honestly, I clean my iPad Pro so often with lackluster results I might just buy Apple's cleaning cloth if it's actually better than other microfiber cloths.

    Maybe you should consider bringing the ipad to apple for a professional cleaning? They are delivered without fingerprints when they're new.
