OS X El Capitan Code Hints at 4K 21.5-inch Retina iMac

Apple's newest OS X El Capitan beta, released on Tuesday (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/23/os-x-10-11-el-capitan-beta-2/), contains code that may hint at some upcoming Apple product updates. Shared by Pierre Dandumont (http://www.journaldulapin.com/2015/06/24/un-imac-4k-broadwell-avec-une-radeon-hd-r9-m395x-en-preparation/) (via 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/06/25/4k-imac-2015-apple-tv-remote-touch/)), the code references a Retina display with a 4096 x 2304 resolution, potentially referring to a future 21.5-inch Retina iMac with a 4K resolution.

 There's also a mention of Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200, the graphics chipset that accompanies Intel's newest line of Broadwell processors. Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 and a Broadwell/Skylake processor could potentially be destined for a 4K 21.5-inch Retina iMac, but the chipset is also suitable for a number of notebooks. There's a further mention of AMD Radeon M380 - M395X graphics, which could be used in high-end iMac models.
 
 Apple has updated its 27-inch iMac with a 5K Retina resolution, but the 21.5-inch iMac has thus far remained untouched as Apple has had to wait on appropriate chips for the machine. Apple's plans for the 21.5-inch iMac remain unclear (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/13/15-inch-rmbp-supplies-continue-tightening/), as Intel has only released two desktop-class Broadwell chips and does not plan to release additional desktop chips. For that reason, a 21.5-inch Retina iMac update could still be months off should Apple opt to wait for Broadwell's successor, Skylake.

 In addition to pointing towards a potential 21.5-inch iMac upgrade, code in the latest El Capitan beta also hints at (http://www.journaldulapin.com/2015/06/25/vers-une-telecommande-bluetooth-chez-apple/) a revamped Remote with a multi-touch trackpad that supports scrolling, a dedicated Bluetooth chip, and audio support, potentially for Siri commands. Details on the remote (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/04/next-apple-tv-remote-touch-pad/), which will likely accompany the upcoming Apple TV, were first shared in May.
