  Or do what everyone does and wipe back and forth real fast on your shirt

    Been doing that for a lot of years, never had an issue.

      Shirt doesn’t get it as clean and clear as a microfiber cloth. I have a few very large microfibers that I keep around the house and at least one in the car.

        Eh it gets it clean enough for my purposes (no fingerprints). And I always have a screen protector on my devices so if anything it’s damaging that. I’ve had a smart phone since an old-school Blackberry World Edition from shit…2007? Though I guess my first touch screen one was a Blackberry Storm a year later. Regardless, never had any issues whatsoever. That’s obviously anecdotal but still.

        With the hardened glass going into phones combined with the oleophobic coatings they get, you really aren’t likely to do a bit of damage for the light rubbing you need to get oils off the screen.

        I’ve been cleaning my iphone XS with my shirt for 5 years straight and the screen isn’t scratched at all.

        If we used to be able to clean screens with a cloth, and now need a microfiber to not damage it, that means it was a downgrade.

  Fine print: use of non-Apple cleaning tools voids warranty.

  Well, this looks more premium. I’d be willing to buy it for up to 5 bucks.

    Part of me is curious what could possibly make it so expensive. The other part knows it’s just Apple tax. Both parts would like to touch it.

      They put extra worker exploitation in this one

  I have one (came with my display) and it works really well. Plus it’s safe for their nanotextured displays (which are sensitive to having their nanotexturing worn off by cloth that’s even mildly abrasive).

    Like when I put my phone in and out of my pocket? Lol

      More like when someone leaves a fingerprint on actual professional image editing equipment (refer to this insightful post by another lemmyng) and just rubbing spit on the screen will damage to screen.

      For a phone screen, this cloth is overkill and absolutely unnecessary. You should put a sacrificial glass screen over expensive-to-replace phone screens anyway.
