Apple's latest M4 MacBook Pros have adopted quantum dot (QD) technology, a significant upgrade over traditional KSF displays. This shift promises improved colour accuracy and motion performance. While QD technology has existed for a while, concerns over toxic materials have previously hindered its adoption in Apple products. However, the availability of cadmium-free QD films has made it a viable option.

We've heard about the possible new comeback of MagSafe to the MacBook Pros. But now, we're getting a report from Bloomberg that Apple might be working on a significant redesign for its iMac all-in-one desktop, too. There might be two new models coming later this year to replace the existing 21.5-inch and 27-inch models (codenamed J456 and J457). We could expect it to look like the Pro Display XDR by getting rid of its bezel, oversized chin, and curved back. It'll also supposedly run on Apple's next-generation ARM-based processors.

Apple is also supposedly working on a more affordable monitor to complement the high-end Pro Display XDR. This display won't have comparable image quality to the Pro Display XDR, but it will at least give users looking for an Apple-made monitor the chance to own one again.

You must use a special Apple-provided cloth to wipe the Apple Pro Display XDR

Apple's new Pro Display XDR comes with an optional nano-texture glass that bumps up the price of the monitor by an extra $1,200 from an already jaw-dropping price of $6,299. The panel is etched at the nanometer level that helps cut down glare and reflectivity. But as we just learned, it needs to be cleaned with a special cloth. A dry polishing cloth provided by Apple should be the only thing you use to wipe the glass. Water or liquids shouldn't be used. 

According to an Apple support document, you mustn't use any other cloth for it. And if you lose it, you need to contact Apple Support for a replacement. It isn't clear how much the fabric will cost.
