Apple has expanded its Certified Refurbished Store with several new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, Apple TV 4K, and iPhone 16 Plus configurations, giving buyers another chance to save on current and recent Apple hardware.
The latest inventory includes M5 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with discounts of up to 15%, while Apple has also added several unlocked iPhone 16 Plus configurations that are no longer available through its regular new-device store.

Apple’s refurbished products go through the company’s inspection and refurbishment process before they return to sale, and every device includes Apple’s standard one-year limited warranty along with a 14-day return period.
Buyers can also add AppleCare coverage to eligible refurbished products, although Apple does not offer engraving or gift wrapping for these devices.
New M5 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air deals
Apple has added several M5 MacBook Pro configurations to its refurbished inventory, ranging from more practical 14-inch models to expensive M5 Max machines with large storage capacities.
| Refurbished MacBook Pro | Refurbished price | Regular new price |
|---|---|---|
| 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro, 1TB storage, 24GB memory, nano-texture display | $1,999 | $2,349 |
| 16-inch M5 Pro MacBook Pro, 4TB storage, 64GB memory | $4,669 | $5,499 |
| 14-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro, 8TB storage, 48GB memory | $6,799 | $7,999 |
| 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro, 2TB storage, 24GB memory | $2,419 | $2,699 |
The refurbished MacBook Air selection also includes several M5 configurations across both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, with prices starting at $1,099.
| Refurbished MacBook Air | Refurbished price | Regular new price |
|---|---|---|
| 13-inch M5 MacBook Air, 512GB storage | $1,099 | $1,299 |
| 13-inch M5 MacBook Air, 1TB SSD, 24GB memory | $1,529 | $1,799 |
| 15-inch M5 MacBook Air, 512GB storage, 16GB memory | $1,269 | $1,499 |
| 15-inch M5 MacBook Air, 2TB SSD, 24GB memory | $2,119 | $2,499 |
These refurbished MacBook listings can be useful for buyers who already know the memory and storage configuration they need, especially because higher-capacity Macs become considerably more expensive when purchased new.
Apple Watch and Apple TV 4K are also available
Apple has also refreshed its refurbished Apple Watch inventory with Series 11 and SE 3 configurations, including both GPS and cellular models.
| Apple Watch model | Refurbished price | Regular new price |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cellular, 46mm Gold Titanium | $639 | $749 |
| Apple Watch SE 3 GPS + Cellular, 44mm Midnight Aluminum | $279 | $329 |
| Apple Watch Series 11 GPS, 46mm Silver Aluminum | $369 | $429 |
| Apple Watch Series 11 GPS + Cellular, 46mm Jet Black Aluminum | $449 | $529 |
Apple TV 4K stock remains more limited because refurbished units tend to sell quickly, and the base configuration that was available recently has already disappeared from the store.
The remaining model is the Apple TV 4K 128GB third-generation version with Wi-Fi and Ethernet, which currently costs $209 compared with its regular $249 price.
Refurbished iPhone 16 Plus models return in several storage options
Apple has also added unlocked iPhone 16 Plus models to the refurbished store, including configurations with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of storage.
| iPhone 16 Plus | Refurbished price | Regular new price |
|---|---|---|
| 128GB, White, unlocked | $699 | $829 |
| 256GB, Black, unlocked | $789 | $929 |
| 512GB, White, unlocked | $959 | $1,129 |
The 512GB iPhone 16 Plus stands out because Apple no longer sells this model in new condition, which makes the refurbished store one of the few direct ways to buy that storage configuration from Apple.
Apple also has additional colors and configurations available, although refurbished inventory changes frequently and individual models can disappear once existing stock sells out.
For buyers who prefer purchasing directly from Apple, the Certified Refurbished Store remains one of the simplest ways to save money while keeping Apple’s warranty, return policy, and AppleCare eligibility.
