Used MacBook prices drop steadily with age and step down when Apple ships a new generation, because more owners upgrade and list their old models. The oldest Apple silicon MacBooks are already near their lowest prices.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Will MacBook prices go down in 2026?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"New MacBook prices are unlikely to go down in 2026 after Apple raised them by $100 to $300 on June 25, 2026, because of higher memory costs. Used MacBook prices continue to fall. As of September 25, 2026, an M1 MacBook Air sold for about $369 on Swappa.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should I wait for the M6 MacBook?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Only if you specifically want the newest model and can wait with no firm date. An M6 MacBook has not been announced, so any timing is a rumor.

Used MacBooks from previous generations are usually cheaper than any Black Friday price on a new model, and used prices do not depend on a single sale day.\"}}]}","footnotes":""},"categories":[2021],"tags":[337],"products":[],"class_list":["post-5227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-laptops-computers","tag-macbook"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":5227,"es":31163},"pll_sync_post":{},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5227"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31162,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5227\/revisions\/31162"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5227"},{"taxonomy":"products","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/products?post=5227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
