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.

Perform a dry run first, to be safe

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!

And AI

But 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.

I'm stocking up now before the data centers start buying them all up.

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!

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.

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.

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!
