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.
This voids the cloths warranty.
Don’t exaggerate! Just a lawsuit.
Don’t they handle that on their own?
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.
Phewww… I thought I have to buy the iSwipe Pro Max 27 for $1,000 to clean my new iPhone
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.
Don’t know why but polishing cloth strikes me as slightly dirty lol
Exit: would also accept “rubs me the wrong way”
This is why I like apple.
I just updated the firmware of my apple cloth and now it cleans 10% faster.
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.
Though soon it will be transitioning to a subscription based model.
Lower upfront cost, but they get you in the long run.
I’m surprised they didn’t mention it during their totally not cringeworthy meeting with mother nature
This felt like a The Onion headline, i love it
This is the thing about Apple and why this sort of thing doesn’t bother me. Overall, their hardware, at least their phones and notebooks, are relatively similarly priced to the competition with similar hardware. Then they charge buckets for all the accessories. But if you pay for those accessories, that’s on you. It’s not an Apple Tax, it’s a Stupid Tax.
It’s not an Apple Tax, it’s a Stupid Tax.
If you buy Apple products, you are already grandfathered into that Stupid Tax.

Only their phones are similarly priced and that’s only if you look at the most expensive android phones
You can get a similar Android phone to the iPhone 12 for a third of the price. Perhaps even with newer chips and newer cameras. Apple has always been grossly overpriced.
And also a 120 Hz display, a lot of phones for around 400€ have that nowadays
Base priced Macbook Air is $1099. That’s pretty relative to a lot of the competition. You can definitely find better deals, but let’s not pretend it’s more expensive than everything else in its class.
Are we defining class by relative power and capabilities? Cause if so, yeah Apple is absolutely overpriced.
I can almost guarantee you a more powerful machine of similar size and weight exists for 750-900 bucks outside of the Apple ecosystem. You’re paying for the shiny metal construction and the name.
You won’t get anything with as good build quality for that price and performance. You also won’t be able to match the battery life, due to bad firmware/software.
In general you’re pretty hard pressed to find a laptop that is all around as solid as a Macbook. Macbooks do pretty well across all categories… Good battery life, performance, screen, build quality, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, weight, size, etc… It’s hard to find a competitor that provides close to as good of an experience on all factors at the same time. I don’t have a Macbook at the moment because I prefer to run Linux and got my last laptop before the M1 came out… But it feels pretty hard to justify staying in Lenovo land these days.
not to mention thats assuming youre buying all new hardware.
Usually the price per power on macs is pretty horrendous though
their laptops start at similar prices but not if you actually compare apples to apple(s) Mac are way overpriced
And of course sold at a vastly inflated price.
But does it still support the first-gen iPhone?
Compatibility only goes back to the iPhone 5.
