Just over a month ago, Apple announced a slew of new products at its Spring Loaded event. It was one of the most notable spring events Apple has hosted in years, and today — Friday, May 21st — many of the products that were unveiled on April 20th are finally available to be purchased.
In a surprising move, Apple didn’t actually share release dates for all the new devices it showcased at the Spring Loaded event, but the date leaked just days after the event.

Those are each currently available from Apple’s website as well.
