Screen cleaning?

Zeiss camera lens wipes.

I use it on my lenses, if it’s fine on a delicate lens costing 10’s of thousands, it’s fine on a screen.

Amazon sell it, I bought a box of 200 from like a decade ago and still going through them.

Do they leave steaks?

Would you use something that Apple themselves have stopped using because it damages the screen coating?

It winds me up no end when I see videos of people saying Apple “use it”. Classic AI nonsense where it’s learned something from a decade ago and now idiots are learning it from AI and repeating it like sheep.

No, as that would be a terrible thing to have in front of a lens. There is a trick to using them. When they are first opened they are quite wet and you need to keep wiping as it evaporates. If you just wipe once it won’t look right. We are talking about like 5 seconds of wiping, not minutes. It also means you have to go fast and you might need more than 1 to wipe an iMac.

Bit pricey

Wonder if these would be good for the nanotexture display on the inner screen of the Duo, need to find a guinea pig to test the theory first

All you should be doing is removing dust anyway, really.

Opening a can of pop near the screen, sneezing, coughing, specs do end up in the screen though they shouldn’t

yes,and especially on a phone you have greasy/dirty fingers, or the children do.

So on iphone/laptop/tv I use dampened lint free cloth with a dot of johnson baby shampoo or car shampoo,
that doesn't have any kind of ingredients to leave a shiny/hydrophobic coating, which is what the Apple whoosh stuff had had.
I wipe once more with same cloth on a section that doesn't have the detergent, I then dry it streak free with a 3-layer good quality Andrex tissue.
Used same technique over 15 years.
