All refurbished products come with a 1-year warranty. Some companies may sell refurbished items with cosmetic defects and other issues, but Apple's refurbished products available from its online store are "as good as new" products, but with a lower price tag.Įvery refurbished iPad, iPhone, Mac, Apple TV, or Apple accessory Apple sells goes through a certification process that ensures full functionality, and with iOS devices, each one gets a new outer shell and a fresh battery. TL DR: Apple's refurbs and customer service are so good, I drank the Kool-Aid.There's often a stigma against purchasing refurbished electronics because many companies don't have rigorous quality control programs for refurbished items, but that's not the case with Apple. The customer service from buying a refurbished MacBook impressed me so much, I ended up switching from a Nexus 4 to an iPhone 5S, and I haven't looked back! I have AppleCare for both of them :-) They work so beautifully together, and this long-time Linux and Android user is completely sold. My nearest Apple Store is two hours away, so this was awesome! This wasn't even from an official Apple Store, but from an Authorized Service Provider in town, which Apple's warranty works with. I should also mention that I got my screen replaced for free when I found a single dead pixel (don't judge me ).
I literally saved hundreds of dollars not only by buying a refurb, but even more for a mistake they made and stayed cool about. I worried immediately that my warranty might become an issue, so I gave Apple a call to tell them they made a mistake, and their reaction was completely unexpected: they actually told me, "Winner winner chicken dinner!" It came out of the box in perfect condition, but I also discovered something in "About this Mac". When one appeared in the refurb store that had the specs I was after, I jumped on it.ġ3" Retina MacBook Pro Late 2013 2.6GHz i5 CPU 512GB SSD 16GB memory My first Apple product was a 13" Retina MacBook Pro, I got it mid last year.
