Apple Polishing Cloth Is Now Just $9

Apple has released an updated version of its Polishing Cloth, priced at $9, down from its previous $19 price tag. Despite the cost reduction, details about the changes in the new Polishing Cloth remain undisclosed. Apple's description for the updated version remains unchanged: the cloth is soft, nonabrasive, and effectively cleans Apple displays, including those with nano-texture.

The Polishing Cloth was first introduced in October 2021 and sold out quickly. While it has become a popular item, it is genuinely an effective tool for maintaining Apple gear. The updated Polishing Cloth can be purchased from Apple's website for the reduced price of $9, though securing one quickly is advised due to potential sellout.

The original Polishing Cloth, still available on Amazon for $19, offers a piece of Apple history for those who wish to own it.
