They give you a cleaning cloth? Did I accidentally throw mine away!?

not to worry. Apple will gladly provide a replacement in exchange for USD$19

A microfiber cloth apparently so notable that it even has its own Wikipedia page:

Pay attention to the compatibility list though. If you use the Clothâ„¢ on an iPhone 4 or earlier then you're in uncharted territory, who knows what could happen.
You bought a car that requires premium grade fuel, you gotta pay for the premium grade.
Yeah, it was in the box with all the compliance paperwork, where the stickers used to be.
Apple doesn't even include stickers anymore?
I heard they didn't but I got stickers in both my iphone and macbook pro boxes. Go figure.
They stopped including them in late 2024, https://www.macrumors.com/2024/11/07/rip-apple-stickers-kind...

But perhaps that's a north america only thing and other countries continue to receive stickers.

It's not US only, I didn't get stickers with my EU market iPhone Air.
I thought the same. I had no idea there was a special cloth in the box. I'll have to dig it up and search for it. It sounds like a quality microfiber cloth is still fine though.
