- BugsJustFindMe 2mo agoThis toilet paper is reusable though. As toilet paper goes, that's basically unheard of.
- m3kw9 2mo agohas to be tiktok material to demo that
- ceejayoz 2mo agoMy favorite feature of this product is the store's "compatibility" matrix that gets updated with every new Mac/iPhone release.
- BugsJustFindMe 2mo agoOne 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.
- thedougd 2mo agoThe underlying data must be used to cross sell. I added a Neo to the bag and the next screen included it in the accessories list.
- StingyJelly 2mo agoIt even has full (unofficial) linux support!
- tedd4u 2mo agoAnd AI
- pseudohadamard 2mo agoBut not Arch yet, as usual. You need some hairy kernel patch to use it with that. I've also heard about unexplained crashes under Gentoo, but that could just be one guy having the problems.

- ezfe 2mo agoYou must be fun at parties
- opengrass 2mo agoWell if you want one, I'll undercut Apple by 50 cents, that is $8.50 (+9344%). HN-only special!
- miyoji 2mo agoMore fun than the kind of person who spends $10 on a rag, though.
- boredtofears 2mo agoDisagree, I want to go to the party hosted by $10 rag guy
- mikestew 2mo agoEvery 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.)
- mikestew 2mo agoI’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 2mo agoLook, 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."
- user00005 2mo agoI'm stocking up now before the data centers start buying them all up.
- jlebar 2mo agoThe 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!
- Swizec 2mo agoI 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 2mo agoI sure do love the Apple logo imprint it leaves on the screen, like my nanny's lipstick!
- karim79 2mo agoHow 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.

- seanclayton 2mo agoLove the tariff refund coming back to the customers pocket in a strong and meaningful way. A good move from Tim Apple here.
- penguin_booze 2mo agoApple 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.
