It hasn't been all that long since Apple launched the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, either one equipped in the brand new, redesigned 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro models. But if you've been waiting for the company to welcome the laptops to its refurbished online store, then good news. Your wait is over.
Give it enough time and, eventually, refurbished models of Apple's latest products will find their way to the company's online store. And now, sure enough, both of the company's newest smartwatches have made the leap.
If you're in the market for a new phone, but don't necessarily want Apple's newest options, how about an iPhone 11 model? And you can save some money by going refurbished, too.

I'm always on the lookout for a good deal when it comes time to buy new gear, and I hate paying full retail for anything. When it comes time to replace my Mac, iPhone, iPad or other Apple accessory, I hunt around, hitting the retailers who I know offer deep discounts, and I use bargain hunting apps and services too. There's one place I always check out, and often find the best deals on Apple gear, however: Apple's web site itself. More specifically, the Certified Refurbished section of Apple's web site. That's often where you'll find the best deals.
