Shoppers who want an Apple device for less than a new one can buy directly from the company's Certified Refurbished store.  Apple says every item goes through full functional testing, uses genuine Apple replacement parts as needed, is cleaned and inspected, and ships in a new white box with accessories, cables and an operating system, along with free shipping and returns.

Refurbished iOS devices come with a new battery and outer shell, Apple's "Why Refurbished" page says.  Every Certified Refurbished product includes the company's standard one-year limited warranty, and buyers can add AppleCare.  Apple advertises special savings of up to 15 percent.

On Sunday, Nov.  8, the refurbished homepage listed a refurbished unlocked iPhone 16 with 128 GB of storage in Ultramarine for $659, and a refurbished 13-inch iPad Pro (M4) with Wi-Fi, 256 GB of storage and standard glass, in silver, for $1,169.  Stock and configurations change.  This is not a review or an endorsement.
