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

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.

However, there is a catch. The special Samsung cleaning cloth is available in an extremely limited quantity – just a thousand of them will be given out. An on top of that, its reach is extremely limited as the promo is Germany-exclusive. Still, it’s an amusing way to take a jab at Apple.

Following is the translation from Dutch:

“With this promotion, Samsung is once again building on the rivalry with Major Competitor Apple. The latter caused a stir at a recent event with the launch of a polishing cloth for your iPhone. Price tag €25. Apple’s cloth measures 16 by 16 centimeters, so purely on specifications, Samsung’s free cloth wins the comparison. It’s over 50% bigger – and €25 cheaper.”

Samsung has never been shy when poking fun at Apple, even if it’s nonsensical and backfires. The most recent jab came in the form of TV ads comparing the S21 Ultra camera with the one from the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
