It looks like Apple will be adding a new iMac to its lineup come October. The company is reportedly planning to release a version of its 21.5-inch iMac with a stunning 4K display, according to 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman.The company will unveil the new iMac in October, and it's expected to start shipping in November.
The new model will have a 4096 x 2304 resolution screen compared to the current 21.5-inch iMac's 1920 x 1080 resolution display. Gurman says Apple may continue to sell this older model alongside the newer high-resolution ones.
The announcement will likely coincide with the release of Apple's new Mac software, called El Capitan. The company has previously said that El Capitan will launch in the fall, but it hasn't said exactly when.
Apple usually holds an event in October to make some new announcements regarding its Mac products, so it's not surprising to hear that we may see a new iMac next month.
Rumors that Apple plans to release a new 21.5-inch iMac with a 4K screen have been circulating for quite some time. Back in June, Gurman discovered evidence in the beta version of El Capitan which indicated that the new software is designed to support devices with 21.5-inch 4K screens.
