Refurbished Apple Devices Cut Prices by Up to $1,600 After June Mac and iPad Hikes

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 31

Summary

  • $409 refurbished MacBook Airs and $369 iPad Airs are drawing attention after Apple raised Mac and iPad prices in June, with some certified renewed models now undercutting current versions by hundreds of dollars.
  • The biggest gap cited is a 2021 1TB iPad Pro at $599 versus $2,299 for a comparable new model, while a refurbished 15-inch MacBook Air saves about $400 against a new $1,600 version.
  • Apple Watch prices were not raised in June, but renewed models still offer steep discounts, including a Series 7 at nearly $360 below its original $499 price and an SE at about $140 off.
  • Most of the featured devices are sold through Amazon Renewed or other certified refurbishing programs and come with 90-day limited warranties, making older Apple hardware a lower-cost alternative to current releases.
