After discovering references to future processors for the iPad Pro in the beta of iOS in 9to5mac, they have also discovered References to new iMac in the latest beta version of macOS 11.3. Some iMac with Apple silicon processors that we would see appear this year.
Some iMac with M1 that could arrive earlier than expected
More or less we are clear that Apple is working on new iMac. Partly thanks to the leaks, partly due to the time that the team has not undergone a redesign and partly because of the arrival of the M1, we all expect new iMac this year. Mark Gurman placed them a few weeks ago in October, although the discovery of references in macOS 11.3 could indicate other plans.
The latest macOS Big Sur beta arrives with a couple of new codes: iMac21.1 and iMac21.2. Numbers that do not indicate the size of your screens, but the version. A few weeks ago Bloomberg revealed that the codename of the M1 processors that would come to the new iMac is J456 and J457. Names that appear in the information of these mysterious iMac confirming to us that they are computers with Apple silicon processors.
This information joins that discovered in the Xcode bug reports that were discovered last week. Without wanting to question the information that Mark Gurman has provided on the release dates, it is important to mention that, if the new iMac are going to launch in october, Apple could have waited for macOS 12 to add the references. The fact that they appear in macOS 11.3 suggests that these new machines could arrive earlier than expected.

We expect a major redesign of these new iMac to make them more like Apple’s Pro Display XDR screen. An exterior redesign in line with the arrival of the company’s processors inside that could, with ease, amaze us in a machine of this size and without the natural limitations of having to run on battery like the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air that already carry these processors.
