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.
Or do what everyone does and wipe back and forth real fast on your shirt
Been doing that for a lot of years, never had an issue.
Fine print: use of non-Apple cleaning tools voids warranty.
Well, this looks more premium. I'd be willing to buy it for up to 5 bucks.
Edit: $19, way too much
Part of me is curious what could possibly make it so expensive. The other part knows it's just Apple tax. Both parts would like to touch it.
They put extra worker exploitation in this one
I have one (came with my display) and it works really well. Plus it’s safe for their nanotextured displays (which are sensitive to having their nanotexturing worn off by cloth that’s even mildly abrasive).
Like when I put my phone in and out of my pocket? Lol
More like when someone leaves a fingerprint on actual professional image editing equipment (refer to this insightful post by another lemmyng) and just rubbing spit on the screen will damage to screen.
For a phone screen, this cloth is overkill and absolutely unnecessary. You should put a sacrificial glass screen over expensive-to-replace phone screens anyway.
