Apple has lowered the price on its Polishing Cloth. Previously priced at $19, the plain off-white microfibre cloth could now be yours for just $9. Alternatively, you could just get an off-brand one that does the exact same thing for a fraction of the price.

Introduced in 2021, the Apple Polishing Cloth was advertised as being “made with soft, nonabrasive material” that “cleans any Apple display, including nano-texture glass, safely and effectively.” The tech giant also included a list of compatible Apple products in the cloth’s Apple Store listing, stretching all the way back to the 4th generation iPod Shuffle released in 2010.
Of course, the Apple Polishing Cloth was cross-compatible with a much wider range of unlisted devices from other brands. Because, again, it is just a polishing cloth. iFixit even did a teardown of the $19 cloth, discovering that it is really just two pieces of fabric glued together.
