Apparently there are issues with some 13in MacBook Pro's from 2016.

Some MacBooks are known to have problems with the screen and Apple has a 13-in MacBook Pro Display Backlight Service Program. However, the problem could be caused by wrong settings, maybe not wrong, but certainly not the best settings. If your MacBook display has deteriorated recently or perhaps is not as good as you think it should be, if it exhibits lighting and banding issues, and other problems, it could be a hardware fault and the display might need repairing by Apple. Did we mention that the cloth actually comes free with the Pro Display XDR? Apparently, $6,000 is the price you’ll have to pay if you want a single piece of cloth included with your purchase.The screen is the one thing on your MacBook or iMac that you use the most and if the display is perfect you will suffer irritation, eyestrain and maybe headaches.

It’s reminiscent of the polishing cloth that’s required to clean the pricey nano-texture Pro Display XDR. Yes, there is a compatibility list if you’re wondering. On the cloth’s product page, Apple says it can clean the displays - and nano-texture glass - on any Apple device. Other than having an Apple logo stamped on it, it’s unclear how the cloth is any different from a typical microfiber cloth that you can get for a fraction of the price.Īpple recommends using “soft, lint-free cloth” and avoiding “abrasive cloths, towels, paper towels, or similar items” when cleaning your Apple devices, which are all worries that this $19 cloth puts to rest. The Apple-branded cloth, made of unspecified nonabrasive materials, will be available to purchase separately.

Apple released this polishing cloth after today’s event in addition to its new MacBook Pros, the M1 Pro and Max chips, and third-generation AirPods (via 9to5Mac). If you were ever concerned about safely cleaning your Apple products, now you can use an official $19 piece of cloth made by Apple to do so.
