Apple raised US refurbished Mac and iPad prices in June, MacRumors reported

MacRumors reported on June 25, 2026 that Apple raised prices on Macs and iPads across its US Certified Refurbished online store, following new-product price increases introduced the same day. According to the report, affected refurbished products rose by around $160 to $180 on average, with Mac increases running higher than iPad increases. Examples cited include a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 Pro chip moving from $1,699 to $1,779, a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip moving from $1,359 to $1,439, and a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Max chip moving from $4,249 to $4,839. On the iPad side, MacRumors listed a 10th-generation iPad Wi-Fi 256GB rising from $339 to $409 and iPad mini 6 models rising from $379 to $459. The outlet tied the changes to Apple's broader pricing reset for new products, which it said was attributed to rising memory and storage chip costs.

For a US refurb buyer, the practical effect described by MacRumors is that Apple's refurbished discount stayed roughly the same in percentage terms while the dollar price went up. That resets the reference point for anyone comparing Apple's own refurbished store against third-party refurbishers and marketplace sellers. A useful check is to open the Rebuya model page for the specific MacBook Pro or iPad configuration, compare the listed sellers and condition grades side by side, then review the laptops and tablets category pages for the wider spread and the company page for each seller's published warranty and return terms. Condition grade, included warranty and return window matter as much as the headline price, because Apple's refurbished units and third-party grades are not interchangeable.

The MacRumors report describes prices observed on June 25, 2026. It does not establish whether those prices remain in place today, whether every refurbished configuration changed, or how third-party refurbishers responded. The observation that many refurbished units likely contain components bought before the cost spike is MacRumors' assessment, not a statement from Apple. The report does not mention any change to Apple's refurbished warranty, return or trade-in terms.
