Apple reportedly announcing a 4K iMac in October

Apple's going to have a very, very busy fall. In addition to all of the new products we're expecting to hear about next Wednesday, 9to5Mac reports that Apple has some extra plans for October: it'll apparently be announcing a new 21.5-inch iMac with a 4K display.

This is something we've been expecting Apple to get around to eventually. It released a 5K iMac with a 27-inch display last October, but the 21.5-inch iMac has kept its 1080p resolution. Recently, some code inside of the next version of OS X revealed that Apple was planning for a computer with a 4096 x 2304 display, so it was clear that something like this has been in the works. 9to5Mac reports that while this iMac will likely be announced in October alongside the release of El Capitan, it isn't expected to begin shipping until November.
