The gray new dialogue box near the top is the new material:
“Is it OK to use a disinfectant on my Apple product?
Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the hard, nonporous surfaces of your Apple product, such as the display, keyboard, or other exterior surfaces. Don't use bleach. Avoid getting moisture in any opening, and don't submerge your Apple product in any cleaning agents. Don't use on fabric or leather surfaces.”

You could see about getting something like this:
This is a great find. However, I teach with a larger iPad, and so these won't fit and I'm not seeing others. I did, however, order some for my family's smaller iPads.... Thank you!
I see all the UV-C sterilizers are sold out. I've ordered one for delivery by end of May, which will serve the purpose going forward; however, doesn't allow us much option at this time.
Hmm, I'm not seeing the update. Still the same message about the iPad screen:
"Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe iPad's screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and might scratch your screen."
10% Bleach on a cloth?
None of the listed approaches will disinfect a screen -- only "clean it".
I like the zip-loc bag idea. Will try it tonight.
Use one or two (taped together if needed) large ziplock bags.
You can discard the bags as needed. (I know a gallon bag will work for a regular ipad, not sure about a pro)
Apple updated their cleaning support document just today to address that very issue - How to clean your Apple products - Apple Support
How to disinfect the Apple internal or external keyboard, trackpad, and mouse - Apple Support
The same application rules woukd still apply to Apple iOS device screens, too, I would think.
Ah, I completely looked past that! Thank you, you're a gem!
