Great video! Every Apple product I’ve ever owned since 2010 has been refurbished. From to watches. I used to work at CompUSA and learned that refurbished isn’t open box 📦 like most people think it is.
Gotta save a buck every chance we can, but also maintaining the quality! Thanks Guil!
What does that mean
Yup - Bought the older 17" Macbook Pro in 2008 as a refurb: used it for 5 years and then sold it on Ebay. Solid machines!
I know you were mainly talking about Mac’s but, one main thing about apple refurbished iPhones or iPads is that they come with a new battery and new outer case, so, if it was a returned item, at least you have a new battery. No one else does this, at least not with refurbished apple devices. I know because after Apple cancelled the iPhone 13 mini I decided this was my last chance to get one, and I really wanted an apple refurbished one, as I will use it long term and wanted a new battery, I couldn’t find but one company that said they put new batteries in refurbished products, but, it didn’t look to me like that included apple iPhones, and apple hasn’t had any in stock since the iPhone 15 event, so I found a brand new one and purchased it.
I have purchased Apple refurbished devices in the past and they have been like new and like you said backed by apple warranty and you can add AppleCare if you so desire (I highly recommend aaplecare for any Mac, I had a lemon years ago and they finally replaced it more than 2 years into 3 yr apple care warranty, and because of changes in the lineup I got a bit of an upgrade as well…for free, (they kept the box though).
I love refurb. You get an iPad with a 512 drive and you can get something more for cheaper.
Agreed. I got my 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro refurbished and had a great experience
I have an important question : how to know in advance (before purchase) the number of write cycles already performed on the internal ssd in a refurbished Macbook? Because this number of write cycles is directly related to the lifespan of a Macbook.
With my veterans 10% discount, most of the new is cheaper than the refurbished. Also places like Best Buy offer prices below refurbished for new products.
Does refurbished iphone have IP68 rating?...and global warrenty?
Interesting. The one time I bought refurbished from Apple I had a bad experience. I bought the original Macbook Air in 2009 and 4 months later the video was buggy. It was too late to return.
It comes with 1yr warranty
I prefer to buy refurbished from apple and get a AppleCare Plus 😌 Got a device with insurance 😊
Are the refurbished Apple Watch still water-resistant?
Doe refurbished usually is just factory reset and cleaning, Battery has already decreased alot, especially on phones.
They put brand new batteries in them👍🏻
That’s not the way Apple does it
Apple is the only place I use for Refurbished. I don’t trust other places and I don’t think other places offer AppleCare with their renewed(Amazon)
Thank you Rafael. You convinced me. I had been thinking a lot about the safety of apple refurbished products but now that I know that they are basically brand new products I have no questions anymore.
Yeah because if there’s one thing that runs through everyone’s mind it’s the safety of refurbished products
In Jan 2023 I purchased a 27 inch 5K iMac refurbished. Got the BIG screen I wanted plus a huge computer and a new mouse and keyboard for about one third off. I could not be any more happy. This is also a huge quality control mechanism for Apple providing insight into material and assembly issues. My first but not my last...smiles..
Enjoy your iMac! Thanks for watching and the comment!
I work for apple. You are completely off mark on returns. Vast majority of refurbished stock is not from the factory. They are return in that 14 days. Staying they come from the factory is not correct.
I am also someone that has only bought refurbished products from Apple for years. Latest purchase was the IPhone 13 Pro Max. It popped up and I grabbed it.
Great information Rafael! I was always curious what "refurbished" meant. I wonder how different that is for other manufacturers besides Apple.
Don’t have the refurbished deals in Norway unfortunately..😢 but hopefully some day 😊
Yeah you are right, I should have made that more clear in the video.
Here is a trick, because Apple doesn't sell refurbished outside the US, well doesn't sell anything outside the US where they don't have stores, they have an IP filter, they do not send to P.O. Boxes and do not accept international credit/debit cards; the first thing is to have some trusted friend living in the US 😂 obviously… then, money transfer to him, he make the purchase, and send it you you in the way you like, I bough a Mac Pro Late 2013 in that way around 2014, I transfer the money to a trusted friend and with what I saved in customs, I traveled to Florida, had a time in the parks, and get my Mac Pro back to my country 😂 now I have US debit card, and my friend address ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also notice, in the US Apple has a program where they receive your old Mac and give you credit for your next purchase, I got my first M1 using that program.
great video...simple informative and short. perfect
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching and the comment!
The discount price is basically the amount you have to pay for apple care plus. So in that regard, getting an essentially brand new apple product and “free” apple care is a plus. Ive always been a stickler about buying things new, but in cases like this, its kind of a no brainer
That is super interesting did not know that. Now if I am in the hunt for a new apple I know what to look for. Thanks for the tip 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hey Ricardo!
Thanks, you helped me a lot with this video
Really good information. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and the comment Stuart!
Valuable info! Just got a refurb iphone. I think computational photography is one of the most compelling developments in cameras. Was gonna buy iPhone 14 Pro for camera - so maxed out storage - but it was approaching £2,000, which doesn't compare well to cinema cameras, action cameras or computers. Finally decided it's not the right time and got 2022 SE refurb for £200!🤣😍 (I had an iPhone 4😜) My next Mac will be refurb. It's like having an alternative to eBay without the old computers and high prices
I hear they put new outer casing, buttons etc on was the screen all good not scratched etc?
When you buy refurbished, does it comes with the box as new ?
Yes, it’s a new box with no print on it. Thanks for watching and the comment Jim!
Thanks I’m buying a refurbished second generation iPad Pro 11 not sure if it a good machine $750 Canadian ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks for watching and the comment GK!
Oh yea! Loved Apple’s Refurbished products! Bought myself a Series 3 Apple Watch during the first half of the pandemic, came super fast and the Watch performance was incredible!
Great info.
Just grabbed a 16" Macbook Pro M2 Max fully decked out with a 4TB SSD for almost $1K less than the sticker price - plus it gets shipped and delivered more than week earlier. Win, win, win!
Does the model number start with N? Since it's refurbished?
It start with F
Watched this before I purchase my iPad Pro m1 :))
Did you buy the refubrish one
@@kaziariyan3056 yes i did
Interesting and make sense. If I ever live in a country with Apple Store, I will look for refurbished models first.
You are so right, it's not everywhere, should have made that clearer. Thanks Aivars!
What about AirPods?
I am an Indian student willing to buy an official refurbished I pad do they sell in india because I am getting problem to place order they are not showing delivery in india
No
Does anyone know if you can trade in your iPhone for another iPhone when buying refurbished?
No it’s not new lol
Please share the link where to find refurbished phones🙏
Apple website. Then store.
They make them too expensive in the first place.
Then stick with your mid range Samsung
Great insights!
Sounds good, doesn't work like that, I have bough some refurbished macs, Mac Pro 2013 had some issues, the warranty worked though, but this only works in the US or any place with Apple Stores, not overseas, that is where I live 😂
Yeah you are right, it's not perfect but has worked 3 times for me. Thanks for watching and the comment Rodrigo!
That’s the thing. You have to get it directly from apple. Other refurb stuff is not worth it.
wish they did this with Land Rover......
Should i go for brand new air 5 vs refurbished ipad pro
refurbished Ipad pro in my opinion, I did last year and I have no issues
Got mine last week. Had 16 battery cycles and 7.7 TBW
What battery cycle means and what greater number indicated. In one MacBook I saw it was 43
@@Kunalmpawar I don't understand
@@Donilan I am asking About battery cycle. What does it mean in apple.
@@Kunalmpawar how many time the battery went from 100 to 0 and back to 100. That is 1 cycle
@@Donilan okay thanks. So what's if it is more than 50 in case of refurbished. Will it affect in performance or it is just for our information
Typing this on my Apple refurbished M3 Pro MBP. Can confirm, aside from an extremely tiny scratch on the underside, this is a practically new MacBook. Came with only 7 cycles on the battery, and hasn't had any hiccups in the past month and a half that I've owned it. I enjoyed my $300 savings for sure lol.
