The replacement cloth should only be a bargain $199.99*. No worries there.
*Free shipping if you order two.

Hyper specific niche product with specialized coating requires... Specialized cleaning tools?
Not really sure what aspect of this clickbait I'm supposed to react to. Then again, I'm old enough to remember people getting outraged by windex ruining their fancy new LCD screens in the early 2000's.

I'm sure within a month there will be dozens of the exact same cloth on Amazon. But really, this isn't a big deal. If you buy a $5000 screen and try to clean it with paper towel and windex, you probably deserve to get burned.
Yup. "I got a marble counter top and i am outraged i can't use the same cleaning products plebs with a stainless steel counter use".
Well, you don't think it's a bit ridiculous that a display that expensive is so fragile?
I used to have a boss who would come over to my desk and put his fat, greasy finger right on the screen where he wanted changes in something, leaving a very visible fingerprint. If I had this screen I'd have to keep a taser at my desk.
expensive things can often be more fragile? You can't wash expensive clothes in a washing machine because they'll get destroyed and they need to be hand washed
Lol. It's a $6,000 piece of specialized professional equipment. Completely routine and expected for things like that to have thorough and specialized instructions for maintenance.
No, the opposite. Expensive things often require extra care.
I don't know what it is about Apple that makes people lose all perspective.

I mean, people know they have to dry clean $6000 suits. This one is like saying the suit can only be dry cleaned at this one store because they have a new process.
The monitor is great value for sure, but this is something that is going to be used in studios and editing rooms. It needs to be reasonably robust.
If Apple made suits, there would be complaints about dry cleaning for sure.
This is the nicheiest of the niche product. Its for pro's but only the kind of pro's who are not in the wild, on set or in a broadcasting truck etc.
Basically I'm mad that Apple decided to not make a prosumer monitor that could be attached to a Mac Mini :(

Yes.
lol, I am not even close to the target market for this. Just found it funny.
Hahah , no this is normal for expensive screens technology.
Experience: I spent $4,000+ on an OLED tv
quality product which has a high price requires expensive upkeep... yep, that's exactly how it works
i have a ten grand bicycle... i know this world all too well

No, I think it's ridiculous that average consumers are pretending to be outrages about clearly non-consumer products.
What a weird thread.
This was still the case on my 2017 13" where the Apple website specially tells you NOT to use propanol/alcohol-containing cleaners.
Most people don't visit the website to check tho
I think it has to do with their "expensive thing" not being worth the upgrade compared to other "expensive things" that put a larger gap between themselves and cheaper versions.
Granted, that's not always true, as there are a lot of expensive brands that aren't much better than a cheap knockoff.
I guess people expect Ferrari level vs Honda Civic for the money. 800hp vs 180hp. Although, now days that comparison doesn't really work well when you can buy a $35,000 Corvette that can outperform a $750,000 super car.
I've always built my own computers, so I've always found Apple's expensive systems a bit silly performance to cost wise.
I don't care if people want to spend money on it though. To each their own.
Having specific cleaning instructions/tools for a fancy piece of tech that isn't aimed at the average consumer doesn't seem all that crazy to me. Plus the cloth is included with the screen. I really can't see any issues here.
Same reason why your new lambo purchase comes with a lambo mechanic.
It's honestly kinda incredible how bothered people are by the Mac Pro and it's display.
