Apple has expanded its accessories portfolio.
Now there is even its own polishing cloth - true to style with apple.
Fans react confused and amused.
Cupertino - The prices for Apple products and accessories are not for the small budget.
But now the iPhone manufacturer has shot the bird - and earns a lot of ridicule for it.
Recently, a polishing cloth has also been available for purchase on the tech group's website.
According to the website, the small white piece of fabric with the Apple logo is "made of a soft, abrasion-free material and cleans every Apple display, including nanotexture glass, gently and thoroughly."
Sounds great.
But if you look at the price, you tend to suspect a bad joke behind the "product novelty".
Because if you want to clean your iPhone, iPad and Co. with the original Apple accessories, you have to shell out a whopping 25 euros.
And no, this is not the price for a pack of ten, but the price for a single handkerchief.
Apple: polishing cloth not compatible with all devices
The price of the "iLapping", as Twitter users jokingly call it, is not even the strangest.
It is much more confusing that the “Compatibility” tab can also be found on the product page of the cloth.
So does Apple want to tell us that the 25 euro cleaning cloth is not even compatible with all Apple devices?
Looks like.
Obviously, iPhones older than the iPhone 6 should not be cleaned with the expensive rag.
If you want to clean your iPod shuffle, which by the way doesn't even have a screen, you should pay close attention to the model.
Because only the fourth generation MP3 player is compatible with the cleaning cloth, according to Apple.
Owners of other devices will then unfortunately have to resort to cleaning cloths from other manufacturers.
After all, they are available for as little as three euros - or even free with new glasses at the optician's.
Apple: “iLappen” is becoming a laughing stock on the internet
Why not all devices should be compatible is not really clear.
Perhaps a few were simply forgotten in the listing of all Apple devices.
In any case, the polishing cloth with the apple logo ensures a lot of laughs on the net.
A Twitter user jokes: “I will have to wait for the Pro Polishing Cloth for the iPhone Pro.” Another user suspects a marketing gag: “I think the Apple Polishing Cloth for 25 euros is a very clever marketing campaign.
Who wouldn't write and talk about a 25 euro cleaning rag. ”If so, Apple has achieved its goal in any case.
