Next month we could see all new iMacs from Apple sporting OS X Yosemite and a higher resolution Retina screen.

9to5 Mac reports Apple is in the last stages of testing such machines to be the future of its desktop computers.

As for the exact resolution of the iMac, rumors from September 12 pointed to a 27-inch, 5K model. Meanwhile, code found in the OS X Yosemite beta refers to new screen resolutions including 6400 x 3600, 5760 x 3240 and 4096 x 2304.

Purportedly these beyond HD resolutions will help media creators on OS X create 4K-footage in the newly improved versions of iMovie and Final Cut Pro.

Apple picking season

Evidence of a new Retina iMac is mounting weeks before Apple's next October 21 event. Following the iPhone 6 launch and Apple Watch reveal, we're expecting Apple will put on yet another keynote jam packed with new products.

Early reports have suggested we will see the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 alongside with OS X Yosemite. This pairing will most likely allow Apple to show off its new Hand-Off feature, which allows for seamless communication between iOS 8 mobile devices and OS X Yosemite desktops.

Along with these newly rumored iMacs, we also expect the Cupertino company will also launch a new Mac Mini.

Whatever Apple has planned stay tuned to this space for the latest updates.
