in stores?

Does anyone know if the new iMacs are in the Apple store? I can't order one without seeing the colors in person.

They most likely won't be available in stores until the second half of May, probably the 21st or close to that, being the date the first orders are due to ship. Apple might, but usually don't, make products available in store before their first shipping dates.

Agree - the public launch date appears to be May 21st.

My iMac Apple Store order says delivery 5/21-5/27.

Apple store will not release ahead of launch day.

Exception: some news media and vloggers may get a unit to give some teasers ahead of release day...

I have heard about a few that simply order one of each. Would be a good way to see the color where you will be using it!
(I did not say it was a good solution, just a choice... or, there's always "wait a month to order". It's not like you wear it to show off to others, like an iPhone or earbuds.)
Or, you can always return your iMac. Order it. If you don't like the color, return it, and order another. Not an efficient way to get your iMac, but probably smarter than buying all seven at once, eh?

Are the Apple stores near you even open to browse? All the ones around here have turned into express stores. It’s pickup and reservations only, they have no products on display.

And your mentioned solution is what causes future price hikes from Apple.

I think I'll just wait until reviews starting coming in and when I can see in person. My mid-2012 still going strong, other than not being able to upgrade MacOS.

I'm wondering how many Apple Stores will have "one of each" color?
Probably not many, if any.

Should be in stores starting May 21. However all colours need not be available in a particular Apple Store. Also, only Green, Pink, Silver and Blue will be available at Apple store. All colours will be available online

Apple stores do not ever get products for display or demo in advance of the official launch day, so May 21 will be the earliest they can be seen in stores.

not in store today, though can be pre ordered.
Uk Scotland.

Except the original Apple Watch…. that was in stores for viewing ahead of ordering.
