The iPad Pro starts shipping to the public on Wednesday. If you’re looking to buy one, you’ll need to figure out a few things. Such as the size you want, how much storage you need, which chip you need, and whether should you get the glossy standard glass, or pay the extra $100 for the matte Nano-texture glass.
If you can’t decide, Apple has an incentive for you to go with the Nano-texture glass: it comes with a polishing cloth, as discovered by @NikiasMolina.
The cloth is probably similar (if not the same) as the one available in the Apple Store for $19/£19. Though Apple doesn’t say so, it’s clear that Apple’s microfiber cloth is gentler on the Nano-texture glass than other cheaper cloth.
The Nano-text glass is ideal for users who need to cut down on display glare with its matte finish. The drawback to Nano-texture is that a little bit of sharpness is lost and blacks aren’t as deep compared to the glossy Standard glass. Also, the Nano-texture glass is available only on iPad Pros with 1TB or 2TB of storage.
But hey, for the extra $100 for the Nano-texture glass, you get a polishing cloth with a $19 value. As Molina said, Woah. If you go with the Standard glass, you can buy the Polishing Cloth separately to avoid a case of FOMO.
