apple: Samsung seems to be making fun of Apple, with this free accessory in Germany – Times of India

At its Unleashed event in October, Apple launched new MacBook Pros and new M1 processors. While it did not officially launch, but another product made its way into Apple’s shelves. The product was Apple Polishing Cloth. Priced at Rs 1,900, it can be used to keep a variety of Apple devices clean. It looks like Samsung seems to be mocking Apple by offering a cleaning cloth of its own to some of its users.
According to a report by SamMobile, Samsung us giving some users of the Galaxy S20 a cleaning cloth. However, unlike Apple, Samsung isn’t charging customers for it. Also, unlike Apple, whose Polishing Cloth is available worldwide, Samsung is doing so only in Germany. And these are available in limited quantity as well, according to the report. The report further says that the Samsung cloth is about 50% bigger in size than what Apple is offering.
It’s not clear why Samsung has done this except that it looks like poking fun at Apple for launching something that perhaps wasn’t needed. After all, most people clean their devices with whatever cloth is at hand, right? Nevertheless, Samsung has a history of taking digs at Apple products or features, so it won’t be a surprise if that is the case this time around as well.
Still, Apple’s Polishing Cloth is apparently in huge demand with orders backdating to more than a few weeks. About the cloth, Apple says that “Made with soft, nonabrasive material, the Polishing Cloth cleans any Apple display, including nano-texture glass, safely and effectively.”
