Apple has announced a new Polishing Cloth for 2026, priced at RM39.00, a 60 % reduction from the RM99.00 first‑generation model launched in 2021. The cloth is marketed as an official Apple‑branded accessory that can clean any Apple display, from Apple Watch and iPhone to iPad, MacBook, and Studio Display.

Market Impact

The product is available for purchase online through the Apple Store, with delivery expected within a week, or in‑store pickup at Apple The Exchange TRX beginning 2 September 2026.

The lower price is expected to boost sales of Apple accessories in Malaysia, where the company has a growing market share in the premium electronics segment. Analysts note that the price cut could increase the average transaction value for Apple retail stores, potentially offsetting the impact of the recent slowdown in Mac sales.

Retailers will need to adjust inventory levels to meet the anticipated demand for the new cloth, especially as Apple continues to promote its ecosystem of devices.

Details on the 2026 cloth’s specifications remain sparse. Apple has not disclosed any changes to the material composition or sustainability features, though the cloth is described as soft, non‑abrasive and capable of cleaning nano‑texture surfaces. Visual inspection suggests a darker grey tone and a slightly altered embossed logo compared to the original.

Compatibility is listed for a wide range of devices, including iPhone 5, iPad mini (1st gen), iPad (5th gen), iPad Air (1st gen), iPad Pro (1st gen), iMac 2014, MacBook Neo, MacBook Air 2018, MacBook 2015, MacBook Pro 2019, Apple Watch 1st gen, Studio Display, and Pro Display XDR.

Apple has not yet provided a roadmap for future accessory updates. Market observers will watch for any subsequent releases that may introduce new materials or features. For now, the 2026 Polishing Cloth represents Apple’s first accessory update in five years, offering a lower‑priced option for consumers seeking to maintain the cleanliness of their Apple devices.
