My favorite feature of this product is the store's "compatibility" matrix that gets updated with every new Mac/iPhone release.

I’ll pay your $9, but is it too much to ask that you list the dimensions? I’m not forking over money to find out it’s the size of an iPhone 3. sigh , I guess I’m driving to the Apple Store this afternoon.

I'm stocking up now before the data centers start buying them all up.

The polishing cloth may be a joke, but I will say that I love the nano-texture display on my laptop. Expensive, and whether it's worth it to you is a personal evaluation. But I think it's awesome, and most people I talk to don't even know it's an option!

I hate that the overpriced polishing cloth was legit the best screen cleaning thing I’ve ever used. One wipe and my ipad was perfect. These days I use the cheap microfibers I got for the motorcycle and yeah it works but scrubbing my device like an idiot for several seconds just doesn’t feel quite as magical you know

How many millions in revenue could such a toilet papery product branded by apple gain? I know there are experts out there. Please do weigh in.

Love the tariff refund coming back to the customers pocket in a strong and meaningful way. A good move from Tim Apple here.

Apple will be releasing packets of Apple-approved electrons to charge your Apple devices. Would you believe it - only costs the paltry sum of $2000 a pop! Charging cable with Apple-approved copper atoms will be extra, though; not that much, just $799.
