On Wednesday, Apple begun selling refurbished M4 Mac mini models on its store, starting at $509 for the base model. This was great, though there was one problem, pointed out by MacRumors on Thursday: an M2 Mac mini with the same specs would cost $50 more than an M4 model, despite the dated design.Apple has now fixed that pricing problem, cutting refurbished model prices by at least $100.Before this pricing change, refurbished Mac minis were priced as follows:M2 Mac mini with 256GB SSD/8GB memory: $419M4 Mac mini with 256GB SSD/16GB memory: $509M2 Mac mini with 256GB SSD/16GB memory: $559This was a weird pricing structure, given the fact that youd pay more for dated hardware of the same configuration. On top of that, even if you were okay with dated hardware, youd only save $90 and lose half the amount of unified memory. Apple values an additional 8GB of unified memory at $200, so saving $90 while getting an older computer didnt make much sense.However, as highlighted by Tech God on X, Apple has updated its prices for refurbished Mac minis, slashing prices by around $100:M2 Mac mini with 256GB SSD/8GB memory: $319M2 Mac mini with 256GB SSD/16GB memory: $459M4 Mac mini with 256GB SSD/16GB memory: $509This pricing is far more reasonable, and makes the older Mac mini models a decently favorable deal. Its hard to go wrong with an Apple Silicon Mac at just over $300.You can check out Apples refurbished Mac store here.My favorite Apple accessories on Amazon:Follow Michael:X/Twitter,Bluesky,InstagramAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
