Apple raised prices in its Certified Refurbished store after today’s new‑product price hikes. Average uplift sits between $160 and $180, but Mac adjustments dwarf iPad changes. Low‑end Macs climb about $204, while high‑end models see roughly $330 jumps. iPad lifts sit near $130 on average, preserving the typical 10‑15% discount.

Mid‑range Macs also rose: the 14‑inch Nano‑texture version went from $1,829 to $1,909, and the 16‑inch M4 Pro with Nano‑texture rose to $2,339. High‑end units felt the sting most; a 14‑inch M5 model increased to $1,439 and the top configuration jumped from $2,629 to $3,309. Even the M2 Max 14‑inch surged to $4,839. Apple says the adjustments reflect higher component costs rather than refurbished‑specific expenses.

Refurb iPad prices rose more uniformly, typically $120‑$150. The 10th‑gen 256GB iPad climbed from $339 to $409, while iPad mini 6 models moved to $459 and $529. Premium iPad Pro configurations added $230‑$250. Apple ties refurbished pricing to new‑product costs, citing rising memory and storage chip expenses driven by AI data‑center demand, keeping discount margins stable.
