iFixit takes on the Apple Polishing Cloth in their latest teardown, and unsurprisingly awards it 0 out of 100 on their repairability scale.
iFixit is known among tech hardware enthusiasts for their great repair guides, tools, teardowns and active work in fighting for right to repair.

Furthermore, as is always the case with any iFixit teardown, we get a score on their repairability scale, which unsurprisingly the Apple Polishing Cloth scores a zero on. It perhaps goes without saying that their “teardown” isn’t to be taken seriously, and it’s mostly just a little bit of fun from the good folks over at iFixit. If you’d like to check out their full
