Why is this posted, much less upvoted?

Who gives a fuck about a polishing cloth? Sounds like a joke.

I appreciate the randomness and the fact that the polishing cloth is only backwards compatible to the iPhone 5 and iPad 4th gen. No mention of any other devices prior to like 2012 which is kinda funny honestly. It is a polishing cloth. I could use it to dust the display of my Philco Predicta and it would do just fine πŸ˜‚ (not that I have one…just providing a ridiculous example).

I think this is just a result of the apple store's accessory recommendation system. Probably so few people use anything older than iPhone 5, it doesn't make sense to include anything before that.

Oh I know. It is just a ridiculous oversight. Compatibility could have easily been hidden for the page and it would have made more sense lol. This is just poor website implementation. Harmless but also makes them look dumb and pretentious 🀣

It's intentional design, search engine optimisation.

Invisible text can accomplish the same thing.
