Apple has always launched its new products in September. Although the iPhone 13 family was unveiled at the September event. More recently, however, they have not adhered to this self-imposed rule completely. They have launched a second line of products this year, no more than a day ago, like the new MacBook Pro, a new gen of AirPods and oh, a polishing cloth worth $19.
This piece of polishing cloth retails for ₹1900 has become the butt of many a joke at the hands of netizens.
Some were just calling a spade a spade;

However, some netizens find themselves truly disappointed;
The world’s most prestigious mobile maker came up with an over expensive cloth made in Taiwan to clean phones.

Selling a piece of cloth for 20$ or an EMI of Rs. 240/Month is fine. But not calling it “iCloth” and still charging a bomb, that’s blasphemy!#applecloth #AppleEvent

Well, Apple has been kind enough to also provide an EMI Option, at only ₹224 a month, this polishing cloth is yours!
