I just can't imagine a world where we wouldn't want both options. Remember those mugs that change when you put hot drink in them, let's have Linus's mug change in your hot hand, beard when cold, no beard when warm.

Wait! Is it fallproof?? I mean, we all know Linus gives us many heartattacks when he's "playing and tossing around" with the expensive products!

All this talk of "playing and... " made me realize that perhaps a rag with Linus's face on it, might get misused.

That's a beautiful, almost artistic photo of Harold.

How will it react if, god forbid, you tried to use it with a non-apple product?

Will it refuse to boot?

Does it require a security handshake with an apple device via lightning or thunderbolt?

Is there a hardware security chip woven inside the apple logo?

If they're not fools, they will offer a pack with special Apple brand rolls of "sanitation paper" 

The real question is do you void your warranty by cleaning your apple device with non apple microfiber cloth?

As long as they don't void my screen warranty for using something else to wipe my screen... Don't really care.

If a display gets damaged by using anything but their cloth, then it should be included with the display.

 

I'd rather buy a pack of random microfiber cloths, I don't see how it would be a waste either since a microfiber cloth can be used to clean a lot of things.

But I don't see why anyone would spend $19 on a cleaning cloth.

You can. You should also provide it after the fact, as people lose things, or might want another.

 

It's a nicer cloth, and perhaps they want something with the logo on it. Just because you don't have the desire for it, doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

Literally it looks exactly like a glasses cloth lol. Those you can get really cheap online. Tbh idk why anyone will buy this product lol

The 32” XDR includes this cloth, and if you get the nano texture option instructs you do use nothing else to clean it to avoid damaging the finish. It is different than other micro fibers, and does have a specific use case.

On which end of the cloth would the notch be on once they eventually rerelease it with one?
