My favorite feature of this product is the store's "compatibility" matrix that gets updated with every new Mac/iPhone release.

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.

Brilliant, thanks for saving us. I was worried if it would be incompatible with my M1.

Will provide feedback once I get the iTowel.

The 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.

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.

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

I sure do love the Apple logo imprint it leaves on the screen, like my nanny's lipstick!

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.)

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 7 hours ago [-]
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.

The Apple polishing cloth isn’t (ed: a typical split filament cleaning) microfiber, it’s some kind of synthetic suede. Feels soft not scratchy.

More fun than the kind of person who spends $10 on a rag, though.

Disagree, I want to go to the party hosted by $10 rag guy

Well if you want one, I'll undercut Apple by 50 cents, that is $8.50 (+9344%).

This toilet paper is reusable though. As toilet paper goes, that's basically unheard of.
