Apple, the 25 euro cloth
Apple caused a sensation with its 25 euro cloth to clean the screens and even a notoriously serious newspaper like iFixit has decided to joke about it by carrying out one of its classic teardowns also on this precious piece of cloth, however, detecting some bad news regarding its repairability.As we have seen, with the launch of the recent Macs, Apple is selling a $ 25 cloth to clean screens. Despite the fact that it is rather funny, the piece of cloth in question is selling like hot cakes, so much so that it is sold out just a few hours after its launch on the Apple Store, thus fueling the myth.
iFixit has given us its , making an accurate teardown even of the cloth, at the end of a boring examination on the new MacBook Pro.
Scrolling quickly to the bottom of the computer disassembly, we come to the most interesting part: in the "one more thing" section, just to stay on the subject of historical references, the site has carried out a technical disassembly of the cloth.
It turns out that these are actually two cloths glued together (so you should know that the purchase is practically double) and that the material used is similar to the Alcantara to the touch. The problem is that it gets a nice 0 out of 10 in terms of repairability, because it cannot be reassembled after being taken apart.
Seriously, the analysis of the MacBook Pro is also very interesting and reveals a score rather low in terms of repairability even for the computer with a 4 out of 10, because despite the progress made (removable battery, as well as several other screen components and various devices) the disassembly remains an extremely complex operation and the memory, even as far as the SSD archive is concerned, it is not replaceable.
