Apple's $19 cloth: By the memes
The funniest memes and tweets about Apple's literal piece of cloth.
When I saw that the good people at Apple dropped a polishing cloth for $19, this was the first meme that came to mind:

But still, it’s hilarious.
Imagine being the person that has to earnestly write this ad copy:
The most-liked Twitter chirp was from some random account called @ElonMusk:

Extra points to iFixit for its fake Apple polishing cloth review:
Under a microscope the premium quality of Apple’s polishing cloth comes to life. On the left, you’ll see a plain old cleaning cloth. Boring. On the right? Miniscule fibers intricately woven together, uniting to become not just a tool for cleaning, but an object of beauty worthy of being cleaned itself. Amidst the beauty, a thin line delicately traces the form of mankind’s foundational fruit: an apple.
Last thing: this pic LOL.

Elon just released a Tesla “Cyber Whistle”, priced at $50. Naturally, he takes a jab at Apple’s $19 cloth.
Here is a handy comparison between the products in case you’re deciding on what to buy for the holidays.
Last note: if you buy both, it’ll cost $69…
