I never find too many amazing deals on the Apple refurbushed items page. Usually stuff is about 10%-20% off. However, today I was browsing it out of sheer boredom and came across some amazing deals on Apple Cinema Displays, that seems to hint at a possible product upgrade coming soon.
Apple currently has Apple Cinema Displays listed refurbished for about 60% off, and is also including free shipping. Just scroll down on that page until you see the cinema display section…
The 20-inch is listed at $499, originally $1,299.
The 23-inch is listed at $749, originally $1,999.
The 30-inch is listed at $1,499, originally $3,299.
This seems like an extremely great deal for an Apple refurbished product. It hints to me that an update might be pending for the cinema displays at MacWorld. Perhaps we’ll see the Apple docking station patent put to use in a new cinema displays? (seen below)

Well, yes, that’s nearly 60% off what they originally cost, but those are old models. It is only about 15% off what a brand new 20, 23, and 30-inch cinema display costs now at the Apple store.
Doesn’t mean a refresh isn’t coming, but it’s not that great a deal either.

Umm….that’s 60% off of their original introductory price a few years ago.
