Apple yesterday announced a slew of new products, ranging from four new iPhone 14 models, three new Apple Watches, and brand new AirPods Pro. With so many new products, you may be confused over when each product will be available for pre-order and in-store. To help, we’ve created a guide to make clear all the important dates related to Apple’s latest products.

After Apple’s “Far out” event yesterday, the following three products were made immediately available for pre-order:

Priced at $799, the new Apple Watch Ultra is explicitly designed for athletes, hikers, and marathon runners and features advanced health and fitness features. The Series 8, on the other hand, features the same design as the Apple Watch Series 7 but comes with a new body temperature sensor focusing on women’s health. The Apple Watch Ultra is already facing 6-7 week delays for customers.
