Cheapest store for the most-listed configurations
Prices are what each Apple store shows: United States and Canada prices exclude sales tax (added at checkout, depending on state or province), Hong Kong has no sales tax, and every other store includes VAT or GST. Apple ships refurbished products only to addresses in the store's own country, so a lower price elsewhere is only useful if you can receive it there. EUR amounts use the ECB rates of 2026-10-16.

Based on Apple Refurbished Store listings in 21 countries, checked every few minutes since Sep 22, 2026 (data up to 2026-10-17 22:26 UTC). A listing that disappears and returns within 2 hours is treated as a scrape glitch, not a sale and restock. Stock that was already on sale when a store was first tracked has no known listing time and is left out of timing figures.
