Apples must-have new product is a $19 cloth
Summary
People who cant afford to spend $6,000 on Apples new MacBook Pro Display XDR can now at least buy the cloth that used to come with it, though strong consumer demand means it could be several more weeks or months before they actually get it. The heavy demand involves an accessory that could be viewed as overpriced, given that other brands of microfiber cloths are sold in packs of of six for under $9 on Amazon. Along with luring buyers, the product has also sparked a few jokes, inspiring a parody account on Twitter and some baiting of Apple CEO Tim Cook by Teslas Elon Musk. Imprinted with the Apple logo, the cloth is made of "soft, nonabrasive material" and wipes smudges off screens without scratching the surfaces, according to the products description. In reality, the cloth is not new, as Apple had been giving it at no charge to customers who bought one of the companys upscale monitors, the Pro Display XDR.
