Codes in El Capitan beta hints at a 21.5 inch iMac with 4k display with Touch remote


Apple announced OS X 10.11 El Capitan earlier this month, carries code that may indicate some up coming Apple item upgrades. report by 9to5Mac, the code hints at a iMac with Retina display with a 4096 x 2304 resolution, possibly alluding to a future 21.5-inch Retina iMac with a 4K resolution.

There's likewise a notice of Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200, the graphics chipset that is the latest one, is also in the Broadwell line. Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 and a Broadwell/Skylake processor could may be especially designed for a 4K 21.5-inch Retina iMac, but it also support many other machines. In report AMD Radeon M380 - M395X design is also observed, which could be used in high-end models.

 Apple has come with a 27-inch iMac with the inclusion of 5K Retina resolution, but the 21.5-inch iMac has been upgraded since a long time reason before delay, was Apple was working to find some suitable chips for the machine. Apple's intentions for the 21.5-inch iMac are still not very clear, till now intel has only come up with two desktop-class Broadwell chips and does not seem to intend to release more desktop chips. Consequently, a 21.5-inch retina iMac update might require a few months, Apple will have to make its choice according to given possibilities it might wait for Broadwell's successor.

In addition with codes pointing towards a potential 21.5-inch iMac upgrade, it also includes code in the latest EI Capitan beta which has given us a hint of an remote with a multi-touch trackpad that supports scrolling, with a special Bluetooth chip, and audio support, which will be used for Siri command. 

 We have also seen codes of iPhone higher resolution and iPad more rumoring codes.
