Why such a long wait time for a $19 towelette?
If you go to the online Apple store and add a $19 Polishing Cloth to your shopping basket, you may be surprised to learn that your order won’t arrive before November 18 to November 24. On top of that, in-store pickup is also unavailable, as MacRumors notes.
That does seem like a pretty long wait time for such a mundane item, no? You’re certainly right about that, but don’t forget we’re living in crazy times when nothing ships on time and everything is late or delayed. Even the textile industry has felt the straining of supply chains around the world caused by the current pandemic so why wouldn’t a piece of branded cloth be hard to produce at scale?

Selling out whatever supply of the product Apple had in stock also doesn’t necessarily mean that people are picking up Apple’s $19 towelette in droves. Quite the contrary, it could mean Apple’s immediate supply of the product was very low. But do you really need this accessory for “safely and effectively” cleaning your Apple devices?
