Apple today began selling certified refurbished models of the latest Intel-based 27-inch iMac, originally released in August 2020, in the United States and Canada. Prices are reduced by about 15 percent compared to brand new models.

The latest 27-inch iMac has a 5K screen with True Tone and a nano-textured glass option, 10th generation Intel Core processor options, AMD Radeon Pro 5000 series graphics options, up to 128 GB RAM, up to 8 TB storage , a higher resolution 1080p camera, the Apple T2 security chip and enhanced speakers and microphones.
Refurbished prices start at $ 1,529 for the base model 27-inch iMac with an Intel Core i5 processor of 3 GHz, 6 GB RAM, 256 GB storage and Radeon Pro 5300 graphics, compared to the normal prices of $ 1,799. There are also two higher settings available, but the stock is limited and the stock is likely to fluctuate.
Apple says all refurbished iMac models are thoroughly inspected, tested, cleaned and repackaged with a new box and all manuals and accessories, including a Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2, a lightning-to-USB cable, power cord and a polishing cloth. In our opinion, a refurbished iMac is virtually indistinguishable from a brand new model.
Any refurbished Mac is covered by Apple’s one-time warranty and 14-day return policy, and AppleCare + can be purchased.
The main caveat here is that it’s still an Intel-based iMac. Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple plans to launch a new iMac this year with a next-generation Apple silicone chip and a design similar to the Pro Display XDR, with a slimmer edge, a flat back and no metals know under the screen. . Two sizes are expected.
If you’re still considering the Intel-based model, keep in mind that third-party retailers regularly offer better deals than Apple’s refurbished store. So make sure you keep an eye out for our latest deals on the latest discounts.
