I've been cold-shilling alerty to journalists at 9to5mac, macrumors, appleinsider, etc to no avail. 

Any pro tips around cold outreach and getting published?

1, hook: why should they cover this now. Give a small pitch as to why your story is relevant, right now. 
2, timing: if it’s a time-sensitive thing, make sure you give them enough time to cover the story (usually one week in advance if it’s a timed release) 
3, not cold: honestly cold is really hard/unlikely

For not cold, does this mean work through pr agency with connections? That’s what I’ve done in the past- or something else?

Yeah, the true power of PR agencies is just that they have the connects with the journalists and the private coverage telegram groups and such. I’ve had such terrible luck with cold outreach as a marketer—even with the connect to journalists—it is just so, so much more successful from an agency.
