iFixit teardown the new Apple cleaning cloth confirming its a repairability disgrace

Those of us in the tech world take iFixit’s repairability analysis pretty seriously. So, when a brand new Apple product gets the lowest repair score possible, we take notice.

That’s exactly what happened with Apple’s infamous polishing cloth, a $19 piece of fabric you use to clean your Apple devices before placing it back into a glass display case surrounded by invisible lasers to ward off big-money thieves. The fine folks over at iFixit actually did a real teardown of the cloth as part of its larger breakdown of the new MacBook Pro.
