Apple raised prices across its Mac and iPad lineups in June 2026, prompting consumers to consider refurbished devices as a cost-effective option.

Certified refurbished MacBook Air and iPad Air models can save buyers hundreds, and in some cases, over $1,000 compared to new models. For example, the refurbished 13.3-inch 2020 MacBook Air starts at $409, significantly lower than the current 13-inch MacBook Air priced at $1,260 on Amazon.

The refurbished 14-inch 2021 MacBook Pro offers a better display, more ports, and stronger performance for demanding workloads, making it a compelling upgrade. Additionally, shoppers who do not require Apple's latest M5 chip can save approximately $400 on the refurbished 15-inch MacBook Air, with the new model starting at $1,600.

Refurbished Apple Watches, MacBooks, and iPads are available starting from $142, with some models offering further discounts and trade-in options to reduce prices even more.

These deals are available through retailers such as Amazon, providing consumers with substantial savings on Apple products amid recent price changes.
