Customers can now pre-order the 24-inch iMac, iPad Pro with M1 processor, and new Apple TV 4K through Apple's web store.
At its "Spring Loaded" event, Apple announced several new products with a vague release date of "second half of May." Apple inadvertently revealed a May 21 date in a press release, but it is unclear which product it belonged to until now.
Customers can now use the online Apple Store for pre-ordering the 24-inch iMac, the iPad Pro with M1, and the new Apple TV 4K, although preorder deals are already available at Apple resellers, knocking up to $167 off the new devices and AppleCare.
Arrival dates are starting on May 21. These are expected to slip rapidly.
Apple made the purple iPhone 12 and AirTag available to order on April 23, and the initial orders ship to customers April 30. Some lucky customers received their orders days in advance.
Dates for these high-demand products will slip quickly. Deliveries will begin in the second half of May, with devices becoming available in-store on the same day.
It isn't clear how many of each device will be available at retail. Stocks are expected to be limited.

I ordered the iPad Pro 12.9 and Apple TV 4K but had to quit the Apple Store app a few times to get rid of the error message when I tried to add my selections to the Bag.
My job is done and I am going back to sleep.
Only slept 1 hour 30 minutes all night but was worth it got the green iMac 16 gig, 1Tb, extended keyboard, track pad and mouse for my daughter she will get it between the 21-27th. She's excited.
Already into June 9th to June 23rd for the 12.9 inch iPad Pro w 2TB
The website was quite flaky on my Mac and stuff would appear and disappear from the shopping bag.
I switched to the iPad Pro and got mine in about 10 minutes in.
12.9 WiFi, 256 - same as my existing one, which is already sold to a co-worker.
Any of you who are veterans (like me) or active duty can order through the Veterans/Military store and get a 10% discount.
