Unaffected by RAM prices and supply chain bottlenecks, Apple’s much-maligned Polishing Cloth makes a return to the Apple Store with a $10 discount. Don’t buy it.

In 2021, Apple announced the Polishing Cloth, a $19 cloth designed specifically to keep any of its Nano-texture displays smudge-free without any damage. And while the internet found the price to be ludicrous, and rightfully so, it was $19 at launch; it still immediately sold out.
In fact, not only did it sell out immediately, it sold out three months in advance. Afterward, when it returned in January 2022, it remained regularly available.
