If a large number of the new MBPs start showing up in the refurb store in the very near future... that's probably not a good sign.

Usually the first batch are all returns of custom configurations which can't be sold as new - and sometimes there are good deals.

These are "cold feet" returns usually - its a expensive machine and people have second thoughts.

You know, I wonder if you could buy a new computer, return it for a refund, and then buy the same configuration back from the refurbished store a month later at a discount.

Of course you could, if you can catch it when it's in stock. There's nothing else stopping you from doing that.

This would be hard to track when you see the scale of Apple's logistics!

I wonder if someone could build an apple store app for this

That was the case of the the first Macbook Air M1 (which was super popular): https://www.refurb.me/stats/macbook-air/macbook-air-13.3-inc...

106 days exactly since its first release.

The first batch would be more for people who bought it to review it and return it.
