I always wonder what the rationale is inside Apple to sell a separate cleaning cloth.

There’s no way this is even a drop in the bucket for their business, and neither is this some strategic judo move where they can undercut a competitor’s business.

They list it as compatible with everything, because, well why not.

Marging and fingerpointing in case the customer damaged the screen with some "third-party" cleaning cloth.

Apple devices are fashion accessories, like sunglasses and watches, which all come with polishing cloths.

It's because they know there is a segment of fanboys that will buy it.
