The Refurbished MacBook Pro 2016 introduced the Touch Bar, USB-C only design, and the second-generation butterfly keyboard. Available in 13-inch (with or without Touch Bar) and 15-inch (Touch Bar standard) versions with Retina displays. Powered by Intel Skylake processors with Iris Graphics or dedicated AMD Radeon Pro (15" models). Every unit is fully tested, cleaned, and covered by a 12-month UK warranty.

The 2016 MacBook Pro — modern design, huge value

Apple's biggest redesign since 2012. The 2016 model brought the thinner all-aluminium unibody, Force Touch trackpad (30% larger than 2015), and Touch Bar OLED strip on premium models. All-USB-C means you'll need adapters for old peripherals but the four Thunderbolt 3 ports offer huge flexibility. Now available for a fraction of the original £1,449-£2,699 launch price.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MacBook Pro 2016 still worth buying?

Yes — especially the 15-inch version with dedicated AMD Radeon Pro graphics. It runs macOS Ventura natively and handles Photoshop, Lightroom, Logic Pro, 1080p/4K video editing, and modern web development comfortably. The 13-inch is a strong choice for writers, coders, and students.

Does the 2016 MacBook Pro have the "butterfly keyboard" problem?

The 2016 model has the second-generation butterfly keyboard which can be more prone to sticky or unresponsive keys than the scissor-switch. Apple ran a Keyboard Service Program (now expired) for affected units. Every 2016 MacBook Pro we sell has been fully keyboard-tested; any faulty keys are repaired before resale, and our 12-month warranty covers you if issues develop later.

How long will a refurbished MacBook Pro 2016 last?

Expect 4-6 years of useful life. macOS Ventura is officially supported now; Sonoma and Sequoia work unofficially via OpenCore Legacy Patcher. As long as your workflow doesn't need Apple Silicon exclusives, it remains a capable machine.

What's the difference between the Touch Bar and non-Touch Bar 2016 MacBook Pro?

The 13-inch non-Touch Bar model has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports, physical function keys, no Touch ID, and slightly slower processors. The Touch Bar models have 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports, faster CPUs, Touch ID for login and Apple Pay, and the OLED Touch Bar strip.

Do refurbished MacBook Pros come with a new battery?

Every 2016 MacBook Pro we sell tests at 85% battery health minimum. If it's below that, we replace the battery before selling. You can verify by holding Option + clicking Apple menu → System Information → Power.

Will I need adapters with the MacBook Pro 2016?

Probably yes — the 2016 model is USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 only. If you use USB-A drives, SD cards, or HDMI displays, you'll need a USB-C hub or adapters. A basic hub costs £15-25.

How much does a refurbished MacBook Pro 2016 cost in the UK?

Typically £350-£650 depending on screen size, RAM, storage, and grade. The 13-inch Touch Bar starts around £380; the 15-inch with dedicated GPU can reach £600-£650 — versus £1,449-£2,699 new.

Can I upgrade RAM or SSD on the MacBook Pro 2016?

No — both RAM and SSD are soldered to the logic board on the 2016 MacBook Pro. Buy the config that meets your needs.
