Apple today opened pre-orders for a new wave of products, including the new Apple TV 4K, 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and 24-inch M1 iMac. You can buy all of these products from Apple.com, but if you prefer to shop at third-party Apple resellers, we've put together a list of places selling all of the new products in this article.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with these vendors. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

Note that all of the prices in the lists below refer to Apple's own prices for these models of the iMac, iPad Pro, and Apple TV 4K. These devices are brand new, so we don't expect steep prices just yet, but Expercom does have some markdowns for a few products.

Not all of these retailers may be able to guarantee availability at the same time as Apple, but with Apple's own shipping estimates starting to slip on some items, it may be worth exploring some of these third-party options.

Apple TV 4K

The new Apple TV 4K starts at $179.00 for the 32GB option, or you can pay $199.00 for the 64GB option. Both come with the upgraded Siri Remote (which is also being sold separately for $59.00), and Apple even has the previous generation Apple TV HD bundled with the new remote for $149.00.

Expercom's Sales: Expercom is providing a slight $10 sale on the 2021 versions of the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. Given that the company also charges up to $9 in shipping, this sale isn't particularly solid, but still noteworthy given it's among the very first straight cash discounts on the new Apple TVs.

iMac

Apple's new 24-inch iMac comes in seven total colors, but in this section we're focusing on the Silver option of each of the three main configurations. Of course, most retailers do have all colors available to choose from, with varying stock of each option. The list below only accounts for Apple's base configurations on the new iMac.

Prices start at $1,299.00 for the 7-core/256GB 24-inch iMac as the entry level model. You can then upgrade to 8-core/256GB for $1,499.00, or to 8-core/512GB for $1,699.00. If you opt for the 7-core option, you won't be able to choose from Orange, Purple, or Yellow colors.


Expercom's Sales: For the new iMacs, you can save up to $76 on Expercom. The retailer has the 7-core/256GB M1 iMac for $1,233.00 (compared to $1,299.00 retail price), and the 8-core/256GB M1 iMac for $1,423.00 (compared to $1,499.00 retail price). Just like the Apple TVs, these are among the first deals we're tracking on the 24-inch iMacs.

iPad Pro

The new iPad Pro models have a wide price range, beginning at $799.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi 11-inch iPad Pro and increasing all the way to $2,399.00 for the 2TB cellular 12.9-inch iPad Pro. There are two colors for each model, Silver and Space Gray, and you'll find some decent deals at Expercom below as well.

12.9-Inch


Expercom's Sales: Similar to the iMac, Expercom's deals on the latest Apple products are a bit more worthwhile for the higher-end models. You can save up to $128 on the 11-inch iPad Pro (steepest discount on the 2TB Cellular), and up to $147 on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (again, steepest discount will be on the 2TB Cellular).

Still, at up to $67 off for the 128GB Wi-Fi models of both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, Expercom's sales are solid options, particularly considering that these devices are brand new.

yay i preordered my 256 gbiPad Pro. Was thinking about getting the 16gb model, but i figured the pro apps to take advantage of the M1 and RAM would be a few months away and most reviews show the 8GB M1’s do great on 8gb anyway
Perhaps next year.

I would recommend start getting Thunderbolt 3 SSD external drive storage for more storage for your computer and a 7200rpm Desktop backup drive, for backing up your devices. I use a WD BLACK 12TB Xbox drive for my time machine drive and you get a month of XBOX game pass with it. And just got a 4TB Thunderbolt 3 SSD drive for Applications and data. I ran out of 2TB of storage in a year and a half.
 
...I'm a big fan of BH and no sales tax to most states. They have excellent customer service. Whenever possible I buy apple devices from them.
 
Even though I still think the front is pretty homely (light colored bezels with chin and no logo) I'm in for a Blue iMac (the $1499 model). Costco has it discounted $50 (plus I get rewards from both Costco and Citi plus they basically quadruple the warranty) to replace my parents 2011 21.5" iMac.

They charge tax now (after the Supreme Court ruling a few years ago), but if you use their PayBoo card they rebate the sales tax.

FWIW, their order status site says they expect to start shipping May 24.

...I just bought an Apple Watch in DEC and wasnt charged sales tax?
 
With the price being at $1099, $1199, $1399, $1799 and $2199, and the fact that most customers will buy them directly from Apple, I guess each of these third party retailers would sell only 100 of 12.9 iPad Pros each year.

Saved $150 between a 12.9” 512GB cellular and Applecare+ from Expercom. Says shipping in 3-4 weeks.
