The new cloth is different. It's softer and thinner, but the same size.

If you want to spend 12 minutes on what changed, AppleInsider made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL-4kCkvEvQ

This is actually the 4th Apple Polishing Cloth. Here are all the variants I know:

  * Original one (reference size)
  * New one (reference size; softer/thinner)
  * Apple Vision Pro (slightly smaller, square, different colour)
  * Nanotexture Display (much smaller, rectangular)

I always wonder what the rationale is inside Apple to sell a separate cleaning cloth.

There’s no way this is even a drop in the bucket for their business, and neither is this some strategic judo move where they can undercut a competitor’s business.

It’s specifically advised for use on the nano texture displays, where the wrong material could rub away the special surface etching they use to get the glare resistance.

They list it as compatible with everything, because, well why not.
