Apple’s Polishing Cloth: For the One Who Has Everything

Yes, this is one of those products that even die-hard Apple fans don’t really understand. After all, who would want to pay $20 for a piece of cloth?

Still, the Apple polishing cloth is a thing, and it might be a good gift idea for a few reasons. First, it might be a funny prank you can play on someone. They are getting an Apple product as a gift, but it’s not what they likely wanted.

It’s also a great budget-friendly gift idea. At $20, it’s the cheapest Apple product you can buy. 

This might also be an excellent gift for those hardcore Apple fans who have all the other Apple products on the list. Most people don’t think of buying a polishing cloth, so this might be a great gift to add to their collection.

Lastly, while it may seem like a frivolous option for most Apple devices, it’s a much-needed accessory for anyone who has a product with Apple’s new nano-texture glass. This matte glass finish is an optional upgrade available on the last 27-inch iMac, and it’s still available for the Apple Studio Display and the newest M4 MacBook Pro and M4 iPad Pro models. While those products come with the polishing cloth, that won’t last forever, and folks who’ve opted for the nano-texture glass will likely appreciate having a spare or two.
