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.

What is happening to HN? What is it about anymore? Posts and comments critical of any tech CEO doing shitty things or technologies that affect millions of lives are routinely flagged, while posts about a dumb piece of fabric with no special characteristics that almost no one will buy hit the front page multiple times.

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.
