Context: Refurbished Apple machines are essentially new -- but significantly cheaper.

Apple runs them through the manufacturing process again -- including testing and repackaging.

Not All Apple refurbished products are created equal though.

Apple have literally the BEST condition you can expect on any refurbished product on the market. But all other refurbishers (Gazelle, Mac of All trades, Amazon Warehouse, Decluttr...) grade them in a scale (A, B, C) based on their cosmetic condition and add a year warranty as well.

You're comparing 'refurbished Apple products' with 'Apple refurbished products'

Two very different things.

Apple is only using this vocabulary: "Apple Certified Refurbished" on their store
