    Apple operates in fashion industry mode: seasonal trends, iPod colours and collections, fashion gala shows with press and flashes, etc.
    Just as in fashion industry, you can buy current collection stuff right away or discounted three months later.

    I must have bought about 10 refurbished items over the years. Only one of them, a MB Pro had signs of use. Not that there was anything wrong with it though, it just didn't look factory new.
    All other equipment looked and smelled 100% new.

    My next MacBook will be a refurb, if you ask. Oh, and don't buy Apple Care from Apple, you can get it cheaper on Amazon (beware eBay though).
