Apple’s new M1 iMac, iPad Pro 2021 and Apple TV 4K preorders are live

Apple’s latest iMac 24-inch along with the new iPad Pro 2021 plus the Apple TV 4K with redesigned Siri Remote are all up for preorder, with the company confirming release dates for its latest hardware. Announced earlier in the month, the new iMac 24-inch is Apple’s most colorful since the iMac G3, though if you want the biggest choice of finishes you’ll need to shop with Apple online.

That’s because, while Apple has up to seven different colors to pick from, only the green, pink, blue, and silver will be on sale in physical Apple Stores. The remaining yellow, orange, and purple will only be sold online instead.

The range kicks off at $1,299 for a version with the Apple M1 (with 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU), 256GB of storage, and 8GB of memory. On the front there’s a 4.5K Retina display, while on the back are two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports. A Magic Keyboard is included too, but there’s no USB 3 and no ethernet.

For that, you’ll need the $1,499 iMac 24-inch at least. That has an 8-core GPU version of the Apple M1, plus adds two USB 3 ports and gigabit ethernet; the latter is mounted on the power supply brick. Apple also includes the new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID.

Finally, there’s the $1,699 configuration. That has the same M1 and 8GB of memory as the mid-range spec – more memory is an option – but 512GB of storage. It, too, comes with the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID.

That relies on Mini-LED technology, for much greater control over brightness and color. The 11-inch model starts at $799, or from $999 if you want built-in 5G. As for the 12.9-inch version, that starts at $1,099, or from $1,99 if you want built-in 5G. Both are available to preorder now, though delivery times for the larger tablet are already slipping into mid-June.
