Apple's Certified Refurbished program, as opposed to other "open box" or used items you might find at a third-party retailer, takes used products through an extensive process that makes them indistinguishable from a new product. They also still come with new accessories like the charger and cable and enjoy the same warranty as new Apple products.
You will receive a "like new" device with genuine Apple replacement parts (as needed) that has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Refurbished iOS devices will come with new battery and outer shell. Every device will come with all accessories, cables and operating systems.1 All Apple Certified Refurbished products are packaged in a brand new white box and will be sent to you with free shipping and returns.
The company has already begun selling refurbished versions of its MacBook Air with M1 and 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 as well.
The M1 Mac mini packs Apple's new Apple Silicon processor into the mighty mini that everyone loves.
