The first new iMac in years, a new iPad Pro, and an updated Apple TV 4K are Apple’s big May releases.
Apple’s big Spring Loaded event essentially cleared the slate for major product announcements, and we don’t expect anything really big until WWDC in June. Most of the products Apple announced in April haven’t begun shipping yet, though, and there are still plenty of releases in Apple’s services to look forward to. And who knows, there might even be a surprise along the way. Update April 30: The new iMac, iPad Pro, and Apple TV 4K are available for preorder with shipping from May 21. The April Spring Loaded event brought several new products to buy, but only the AirTag and purple iPhone 12 shipped in April. The others went up for preorder on April 30, and are due to begin arriving on May 21. The biggest product of Apple’s Spring Loaded event was a newly-designed 24-inch iMac that comes in a rainbow of colors. It’s got Apple’s M1 chip, a whole new display, and it’s super thin.

The real star of the show here is the 12.9-inch model’s new mini-LED display. Read all about the new iPad Pros here. Apple The new Apple TV 4K is a lot like the old Apple TV 4K. The A10X processor has been swapped out for the A12, which is just a little faster and enables 4K HDR video at up to 60fps. The HDMI port now supports HDMI 2.1, which is nice. But the big improvement is the new Siri Remote, which will also be available separately for $59 if you just want to buy one for your existing Apple TV. Apple After a surprisingly jam-packed spring event and WWDC scheduled for early June, it’s extremely unlikely that Apple will announce any new products in May.
