With the first pre-order customers due to get their iPad Pro, Apple TV 4K and 24-inch iMac starting on Friday, May 21, Apple has now announced in-store availability.
"With more than 99 percent of worldwide Apple Store locations open as of Friday, visitors will be able to experience the full line of new products in person with help from an Apple Specialist," said the company in a statement.

"Customers who buy iPad, iPhone, Mac, or Apple Watch directly from Apple receive a free, customized one-on-one personal session with an Apple Specialist," says Apple. "Customers can also sign up for Today at Apple Product Skills sessions to learn the basics of the latest iPad, iPhone, or Mac."
"Apple Creatives will show customers how to navigate their device, customize settings, and discover ways to be more productive with their device, while exploring the latest features of iOS and sharing a few of their favorite tips," it continues.
Apple Stores are continuing to use increased health measures because of the coronavirus. However, they have been steadily reopening worldwide.
