Traditionally, Apple would discontinue old Pro models while cutting the prices of vanilla models. However, this year, with no new vanilla models announced and a price increase on older models, prices remain competitive. Refurbished options from third-party retailers, though available, can sometimes command surprisingly high prices. Let's explore those refurbished deals:
