macOS Big Sur 11.3 Beta 5 includes references to two unreleased iMacs

It is rumored that Apple would work on new versions of the iMac desktop computer, and there could be a release in the near future, based on new signs found in the macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta version that was released this morning.

In accordance with 9to5Mac, there are references to two new ‌iMac‌ models in macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta 5, identified as “iMac21.1” and “iMac21.2”. The new Macs use the code names J456 and J457, which were first revealed earlier this year Bloomberg.

We don’t know yet when Apple will update the ‌iMac‌ line, but there are new versions of the 21.5- and 27-inch 21iMac‌ models in operation. Rumors suggest that the new iMacs will have a design similar to the Pro Display XDR with slim bezels and no metal chin.

Instead of a curved rear design, the new ‌iMac‌ models will feature a flat back and at least one of the new models will be 23 to 24 inches in size. Apple silicon chips will be included, and some dubious rumors have pointed to color options that match the colors of the iPad Air.

Apple recently suspended the iMac Pro, which was a high-end ‌iMac‌ option that was first launched in 2017. With the signs of the new iMacs in the current Big Sur beta and the iMac Pro out of print, we were able to see the updated ‌iMac‌ models in the not too distant future.
