How we score deals
Each refurb gets a 0–100 deal score, computed from how much the unit is discounted off Apple's new-condition list price, how recent the model is, and how rarely we see this exact SKU in stock historically.
1 · Savings
Savings — Apple publishes the dollar amount saved versus a brand-new equivalent. We turn that into a percentage of the original price.
2 · Recency
Recency — newer chips and generations score higher because resale value holds longer.
3 · Rarity
Rarity — if a SKU shows up briefly and rarely, it ranks above a SKU that lingers for weeks.
