Apple Silicon iMac potentially appears in the Xcode lock register

Apple is expected to release a redesigned silicon-powered iMac from Apple later this year, and earlier developer Dennis Oberhoff unveiled an unreleased ARM-based iMac in an Xcode lock register for its application for Mac DaftCloud.

Oberhoff shared the Xcode error log on Twitter and with 9to5Mac, who delved into the record and believes it is legitimate.

DaftCloud is a third-party macOS desktop application for the SoundCloud music sharing website, and it’s possible that an Apple engineer was using the app on a silicon Apple iMac prototype, but that’s just speculation. The record indicates that the iMac is running macOS 11.2.1, released in early February, but no further details can be discerned.

BloombergMark Gurman has previously reported that a redesigned iMac with an Apple silicon chip will be released later this year. Gurman said the design of the new iMac will be inspired by Apple’s high-end XDR Pro Display, with thinner bezels around the screen, no metal chin underneath the screen and a flat back.

Earlier this month, Apple announced that the iMac Pro would be shutting down, while the 512GB and 1TB SSD upgrade options are currently not available for the 21.5-inch iMac.
