New references found in OS X El Capitan Beta 6 by Consomac hint that Apple is planning a 4K 21.5-inch iMac. References to a 4K display panel first appeared in Beta 2.

Consomac found references to three new display panels, two 5K panels and a 4K display.

Where "ae0b" files and "ae07" allow the management of two new iMac with Retina display 5K, the "A032" file contains smaller screen definitions, corresponding to a Retina display with 4K Apple even provides the icon (confirming in passing that the design of the iMac in 2015 will remain unchanged). A reference to the 1552 Provider ("DisplayVendorID" => 1552) finally suggests that future iMacs would integrate the brand Samsung slabs.

Notably, just yesterday, a report predicted that Apple would introduce new iMac models in 3Q15 with more powerful processors and much better display quality.
