It looks like Apple will be flooding the market with new products this autumn, following reports that a refreshed iMac is launching a month after the next iPhones.

The technology giant is readying a 4K version of its 21.5-inch iMac for an October unveiling, Digital Spy reports citing the reliable Apple rumours site 9to5Mac.

The new machine will apparently have a 4096 x 2304 resolution, a significant improvement on the 1080p display on the current 21.5-inch iMac.

If past Mac upgrades are anything to go on, we can also expect a faster processor, improved colour saturation, and a bigger dent in your bank balance.

Apple has been tipped to launch the revamped iMac alongside its OS X El Capitan operating system in the autumn.

It will be one of numerous Apple products expected to launch within a three-month period, with new iPhones, an updated Apple TV, and new iPads also on the horizon.
