Samsung pokes fun at Apple’s Polishing Cloth by offering one of its own for free

P4-630 · Nov 10, 2021

Apple had introduced a $25 Polishing Cloth last month alongside the iPhone 13 series – a cloth that barely offered anything over regular microfibre cloths you can grab for a fraction of the price.
It was thus met with quite the mockery despite selling quite well.

Samsung has now joined in the fun and is offering a cleaning cloth of their own for absolutely free, with an aim of showing how it’s done to Apple.
German site Galaxy Club reports that Samsung has been emailing Samsung Members app users to inform them about the said cloth.

The cloth measures larger than Apple’s at 20 x 20cm and can be availed through the Members app. Owners of any Samsung device can grab it and it will be delivered to your address free of cost.

Samsung pokes fun at Apple's cleaning cloth, offers free one of its own

Samsung is now giving away a free cleaning cloth of their own in a limited quantity for free to poke fun at Apple's $19 Polishing Cloth.

Yeah, Like they dunked on Apple for removing the 3.5mm headphone socket then did exactly the same thing not long after.

Who exactly takes Samsung seriously anymore?

But then again, samsung provides innerphones, wireless charging for longer period.

In the past I got a free Gear VR set.

As far as I know @ the Apple side there is nothing free....Never...
And yet people keep buying it all, it does not matter what it cost....

FreedomEclipse · Nov 10, 2021

Also $25 for a polishing cloth?

I can get a stack of 10 40x40cm microfiber towels for $11 and cut them to size and still have more than plenty to clean other things.

I see what you did there....

Apple right now is the butt of that and other jokes too.

$25 for a cheap, stinkin cloth that probrably didn't cost over a dime (If that much) or even a dollar to make.
I guess it's the shipping cost for the cloth that makes it so expensive, right?

As much as I grew to like Apple in the 2000s and basically up until the last few years...this stuff is such a turn off. I particularly liked their Mac Pros because they were such a popular and well configured system for doing audio....practically every studio I've been in was using a Mac Pro model. It's bad enough their laptops and desktops prices get more insane each generation. But the accessories are out of fucking control! $1000 for fucking monitor stands, $700 casters, $25 microfiber cloths.....(inspired by Tiggers post lol) next up $500 butt plugs shaped like an Apple because at least that way you can mean it when you say Apple is sticking it up your rear. The apple's stem will be extra long as a safety measure for retrieval in case it ya know....gets sucked in too far :laugh:

*in fairness I just had to look up this microfiber cloth. it is selling for $19 on Apple's store. So idk if they lowered it a bit due to the backlash or if the $25 was an rounded up exaggeration or what. Regardless both prices are still too much and the arguments/complaints hold. I also see it is selling so well its sold out until January they expect?! Either there are LOT of morons out there or Apple just didn't expect that many morons to buy it and didn't make very many to begin with.

I just use my shirt.. I am typing on an iPhone right now, but I am not that hardcore. I’m not even a fanatic or even remotely fanatical. I haven’t owned any other phones except a GS3 from eons ago. Not sure what I will go with next.. probably another iPhone because I am weak.

Deleted member 24505 · Nov 10, 2021

To be fair, iphones just work, that is the plus point. too many different Androids, too many different versions of the Android OS, slow updates too. Myself, i have used and don't mind both. I wish they'd bloody stop removing the 3.5mm jack though, on both.

I use iPhones only as does the wife. We never buy any “extra “ junk which usually is for the clueless.

Yea but it wouldn't have the apple logo on it so what's the purpose of that? How will people know I have lot's disposable income if they don't see the apple logo? Ho will people know that I am better than they are without seeing the apple logo on my tech? What kind of world would we live in?

As owner of rather expensive TV from Samsung.

Dont mind their marketing and other business.

STAY AWAY AND NEVER EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

They absolutely incompetent company, that straight up lies about what their HW can do and when they break it with FW upgrades, they are unable to fix it. Provided it wasnt broken by design, which most likely it was.

IMHO price for being too big. It seems that moment company becomes too large for its own good, they start to just not being able to do anything properly.

yes, turn it on, it works, but no denying the menus are more complex on Android.

I think you are biased. I have used both, rooted and jailbroke both, flashed roms on many androids, so have good knowledge of both, and i still think android menu setups are more complicated, think why more women use iphones, and not because of the looks. Imo it's because they are easier to use.

I tend to not use Sterotypes to work out what phone is more complicated
I think if you give someone an android and tell them how to use it they will be fine
Just like an iphone
