Apple is selling an updated Polishing Cloth for $9 in the U.S., reduced from the prior $19 price. Multiple outlets report the product is available through Apple’s online store and is described as a soft, nonabrasive cloth for cleaning Apple displays.
Context on differences is limited. The Verge and others say Apple’s product description largely matches prior archived wording, suggesting few observable changes beyond pricing. MacRumors adds that comparisons from users indicate the new cloth is close in size to the original but feels noticeably less stiff, based on a post shared on X. MacRumors also notes it is still presented as suitable for cleaning displays, including those with nano-texture coatings.
While Mashable frames the announcement primarily as a price reduction, AppleInsider discusses the cloth’s earlier launch and reputation, noting it was initially released at $19 and had sold out previously. The reports overall agree the key update is the $10 price drop, with remaining physical changes not clearly confirmed by Apple.
