Looks like a mouse mat.

They should have definitely opened the Unleashed event with Tim Cook announcing this, going on about how it's the most impressive cleaning cloth around, that they're super excited to be releasing it. Just for the hilarity.

That thing is like 99% profit. Printing money.

Probably the same thing that Specsavers give out with your glasses lol

I saw a post somewhere saying it's for wiping jizz away from the monitor since it's washable.

The jizz mat :cry:

@Feek you got your pre-order in?

Feek · 19 Oct 2021 at 09:35

I've ordered two, one for the office, one for the shack. I'll use them as notepads to store my 2FA authentication codes on :cry:

pfff I bet you couldn't fit them all on! That photo by Apple probably hypes up the size.

I bet it's a tiny one like a glasses cloth.

Well ****. I had three boxes of blue ones which left Apple when I did and I used them as rags as they were **** for cleaning iPhone/iPad screens.

Looks like they changed the material though, these ones look soft.

Found one. Basic micro fibre cloth less than 1mm thick and 14cm square with “ Watch” stamped/embossed in the centre.

Seems suspiciously like a Friday afternoon jobby in the Apple boardroom :cry:

Nobody had any good ideas and the only thing to hand was a glasses cleaning cloth!

They don't need ideas - look at their profit. :cry:

The only thing this is wiping away is your morals.

It's to wipe away the tears when you find out the cost of new products.

Apple are just a money making machine. They’ll be loads of people who will buy that.

Should be £5 top whack and included with new devices

I seem to remember that the MacBook Pro I bought back in 2011 or 2012 came with a cleaning rag. I don't think I even took it out of the box, it would have still been in there when I sold it.
