When did APC announce and release the Back-UPS G3 series?

[LarryK]

I received a vendor catalog yesterday and there was ad space devoted to the "new" APC Back-UPS devices, BE500G3, BE700G3, BE900G3, and BE1050G3.

When were these new devices announced?

When were they released?

I've been an APC partner for nearly 20 years.  How is it that there was absolutely no partner notification?

The unit was internally initially on record as early as July of 2022 after full testing it was released around April of 2023 actual release date when it was available in the market would also depend on location some countries may not have a similar unit or a variation of this unit depending on standards on their location
