GoKawiilApple cuts Polishing Cloth price to $9, down from $19
Apple quietly refreshed its Polishing Cloth alongside the new Mac mini and Mac Studio launches, now selling it for $9 instead of the original $19. The product description remains unchanged, and Apple hasn't specified what, if anything, is different about the new version.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The Polishing Cloth became an internet meme after its 2021 debut due to its high price for a simple cleaning cloth, so this price cut is notable even as a minor accessory update. It shows Apple continuing to iterate on even its most trivial products while original units still fetch premium resale prices.
- New Polishing Cloth now costs $9, half the original $19 price
- No stated changes to materials or design from Apple
- Original 2021 version still sells for $19 on Amazon
Apple Polishing Cloth — The meme-famous cloth is genuinely great for wiping down displays, including delicate nano-texture glass, without scratching. If you missed Apple's latest drop, the original is still floating around on Amazon and works just as well on your iPhone, iPad, and MacBook screens.
