Title reads like an onion headline.
I read it in the voice of Professor Farnsworth lol
I thought it was at first… Had to peruse the comments to be sure I wasn’t the only one.
What happens if I use it on an Android phone? Will it burst into flames?
A chemical compound causes the cloth to turn blue when polishing an iPhone, green when polishing an Android. It’s only a subtle difference.
Tim Apple shows up at your house with a baseball bat.
It’s ok though, he just wants to talk.
You might want to watch out your front window Larry, you’ll see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.
*find a stranger in the Alps
You’ve got a nice phone there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.
This voids the cloths warranty.
Don’t exaggerate! Just a lawsuit.
Don’t they handle that on their own?
Is it certified for clockwise wiping only, or is it bidirectional?
I think it is a subscription based model.
It’s the opposite of whatever everyone else does
“Natural” wiping.
Wiping in a motion that resembles an apple with a bite out of it
Wax on, wax off.
Depends on your hemisphere.
Coriolis effect, of course.
You’re wiping it wrong.
I had to Google this because I didn’t believe it was a real product.
Why on Earth would you buy one of these? You can literally wipe your phone screen with a microfibre cloth and you can buy a bunch of them for about £2.
Or do what everyone does and wipe back and forth real fast on your shirt
Been doing that for a lot of years, never had an issue.
Fine print: use of non-Apple cleaning tools voids warranty.
Well, this looks more premium. I’d be willing to buy it for up to 5 bucks.
Edit: $19, way too much
Part of me is curious what could possibly make it so expensive. The other part knows it’s just Apple tax. Both parts would like to touch it.
I have one (came with my display) and it works really well. Plus it’s safe for their nanotextured displays (which are sensitive to having their nanotexturing worn off by cloth that’s even mildly abrasive).
Like when I put my phone in and out of my pocket? Lol
Phewww… I thought I have to buy the iSwipe Pro Max 27 for $1,000 to clean my new iPhone
Apple assures us that this cloth, with its supple “nonabrasive material,” can “safely and effectively” clean any Apple display, even the high-tech nano-texture glass of the Pro Display XDR.
If the insinuation is that the Pro Display XDR has glass that needs special care, that sounds like a product that many would not consider a good choice for “pros”.
All the reviews says that the incredibly expensive monitor has that micro texture on the glass that will impregnate with finger oils making it extremely hard to clean. So when a client touches your screen (because clients always need to physically touch your screen when they need to prove their point) it will leave a permanent mark on it. So “pro”
I’ve seen a bunch of professional equipment and their requirements vary greatly. Usually they involve some ridiculous compromises. One thing is really good while other things aren’t. If you’re a pro, you know how to use the device and you’re always mindful of the specific limitations each device has.
If you’re doing SEM, XRD, NRM or anything like that, you can get great results but the sample preparation is a royal PITA. In this case, you’ll be paying for the quality of the analysis results, but everything else will probably suck.
Alternatively, you could get a rugged pH or redox electrode, chuck it in the back of your car, take measurements in any filthy puddle you find along the way and you’ll get acceptable results every time. The data isn’t great, but the device will work in harsh conditions. You’re paying extra to make sure you can measure things quickly and easily. The device is portable, rugged, robust and all that. Other things might suck though, but a pro would understand that and treat the results accordingly.
Don’t know why but polishing cloth strikes me as slightly dirty lol
Exit: would also accept “rubs me the wrong way”
This article is really trying for an eye-rolling kind of tone while at the same time, literally just being an advertisement for new Apple products.
Yep. That’s iVerge for you.
This is why I like apple.
I just updated the firmware of my apple cloth and now it cleans 10% faster.
Though soon it will be transitioning to a subscription based model.
Lower upfront cost, but they get you in the long run.
Slow news day?
Dunno how. Biggest tech news of the year broke yesterday.
Which news was that?
Apple has improved the Cloth Compatibility™ by introducing a few new devices that’ll need cleaning.
This felt like a The Onion headline, i love it
I’m surprised they didn’t mention it during their totally not cringeworthy meeting with mother nature
But does it still support the first-gen iPhone?
Compatibility only goes back to the iPhone 5.
And of course sold at a vastly inflated price.
