Okay, THIS is the most ludicrous Apple product ever released

Last night was a big one for Apple fans, with the company "unleashing" (Apple's words) the most advanced MacBook Pro ever, complete with more ports, more power and, erm, a notch. But there's one new product that slipped under the radar, and it's utterly ridiculous.

If you told us last week that Apple was planning to release a $19 cleaning cloth, we'd have assumed it was a joke in the vein of parody product memes such as the Apple water bottle and Apple socks. But nope, this one's real – and the internet is suitably baffled. (In the market for some non-cloth Apple goods? Check out the best Apple deals available now).
