Apple Releases New Polishing Cloth

Apple says the cloth still uses the same nonabrasive material and remains safe for all displays, including nano-texture screens.

  • Apple quietly refreshed its Polishing Cloth on the online store, cutting the price to $9 in the US, marking a straight-up 50% reduction from the previous $19 retail price.
  • The price adjustment coincides with Apple's refresh of the Mac mini starting at $899 and Mac Studio at $2,499; while new computers saw price increases, the cloth remains the only Apple product getting cheaper in all of 2026.
  • Made from the same soft, nonabrasive material as its predecessor, the cloth safely cleans any Apple display, including those with nano-texture coating, Apple says.
  • Available on Amazon for $9, the new Apple Polishing Cloth remains open for order though currently listed as temporarily out of stock on some platforms.
  • The product has transcended its role as a simple accessory to become an Apple meme mascot; now more accessible at $9, it positions itself as a unique cultural fixture in the company's 2026 lineup.
