iMacs - refurbished missing on Apple site??

Does anyone know why there is only one refurbished iMac listed on the Apple website under refurbished.? There used to be dozens of models available and I have always purchased the refurbs because they came with the same warranty as new.

Apple's refurbished inventory changes daily.

Check the OWC site. They seem to have a lot and maybe that’s the outlet Apple uses for refurbished products.

here is where to shop for used iMac's (or anything else Mac related for that matter - they are excellent!)

Do the OWC offerings have the same warranty as Apple refurbished? I've had great dealings with OWC over the years, but they might not have "refurbished" computers in the sense the OP was looking for.

I see on the OWC website that most carry an OWC 90 warranty. There are a few that you can have configured as Apple refurbished with one year warranty.

I see more than 15 refurbished iMacs on Apple site now ...
Check site often until you find what you want.
Their offerings change constantly, when you see one you like grab it before it's gone.

You can also look at https://www.refurb.me/ They list refurbs from Apple and other vendors. (There are 200+ iMacs listed in total at the moment, but it doesn't look like any are listed from the Apple Store.) You can set filters to look for particular configurations, and can set a reminder to be notified when something matching a configuration becomes available.

Apple has a backlog, like most other manufacturers. Keep checking, and something will turn up.
