Apple's new & cheaper Apple Polishing Cloth almost as good as the original
I tested out Apple's updated polishing cloth. It still cleans fine, and there are still cheaper options. Cleaning the Apple Vision Pro with the new Apple Polishing Cloth The Apple Polishing Cloth first arrived on the scene in 2021 with a $19 price tag. It's easily mocked as it is just a fancy cleaning cloth. Its popularity was unrivaled, but it's uncertain how many were bought outside of video…
Apple has introduced a new and more affordable Apple Polishing Cloth that is nearly as effective as the original version. The updated cloth maintains its six.3-inch by six.3-inch square shape with rounded corners, and it still features a dual-layer design with fused edges. However, the new version uses a different material, described as a soft, nonabrasive material, compared to the original which felt suede-like.
This change makes the new cloth easier to hold while cleaning and less stiff, although some users find it feels cheaper than the original. Despite the material change, the cloth remains dual-layer and is designed to protect Apple's various display finishes, including nano-texture. In terms of cleaning performance, the new Apple Polishing Cloth is still highly effective, though some users note it doesn't grab oils as well as the original.
The price has also been reduced, now available for $9 from Apple, making it a more accessible option. For those seeking a cloth closer to the original, the Cloth Pro Max from Copland Supply or five of the new Apple Polishing Cloths for around $7.79 are recommended alternatives.
