Hard to believe, but true: the recently presented cleaning cloth of Apple, officially marketed as a polishing cloth, not only costs ~~ ridiculous ~~ proud 25 euros, according to a report by New York Times it should also be the most popular new product of the US company.
And indeed, the delivery time at the official German Apple onlineestore is currently stated at 10 to 12 weeks. For the purchase as a Christmas present, it is already too late - such a bad luck. The well-known repair manual IFIXIT has looked more closely in the cleaning cloth with Apple logo - and attests an extremely poor repairability.

What is the polishing cloth?
According to Ifixit, the material of the polishing laptism feels like the inside of an iPad Smart Covers. And as the Teardown turns out, it s actually two glued clothes. So you can easily halve the price of 25 euros by ordering the Apple polishing cloth for two and simply tearing it apart. Practically!
A luxurious rag!
At a closer look, IFIXIT concludes that the cleaning cloth of Apple is so beautiful and especially that it s actually his own... Well, cleaning cloth would earn. Hopefully the Apple does not bring stupid ideas...
Can you repair the cloth?
In the score for repairability, the website awards a miserable 0 of 10 maximum possible points. Why? First, because the cloth can not be assembled after disassembly. Really bad design
And secondly, because the Apple logo lobe has distracted from the much more important Teardown of the new MacBook Pro. Incidentally, this costs almost 7,000 euros \ - or surrounded by around 280 polished cloths in the best possible version.
