  • Nothing beats KORG's muslin swaddling cloths that they were handing out at Superbooth a few years ago, for cleaning those knobs and hard to get at clavier keyboards.

    It was such a great bit of Superbooth swag that I went down the rabbit hole on Japanese swaddling cloths, muslin, and the like[1], and am now a convert to the muslin clan. I don't use anything else for swims these days, its that great. The fact that I can slick off the water with the same towel I use to keep my synths shiny is just sweet.

  • Softer, thinner, just as small.

  • This cloth was originally for Pro Display that needed to be only cleaned with care using a good microfiber to not ruin the antireflection coating. Apple then started including everything on their catalogue as compatible with it(is it compatible with itself?).

  • I guess anyone wanting to polish their iPhone 4 is SOL.

  • The new model has more parallel threads.

  • I have a Wallstreet Powerbook G3 and an Apple IIe. I ordered the updated cloth and will report back on compatibility issues with those old machines that aren't on the list or workarounds necessary to get the cloth to function.

  • 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)
