Overview
- Leaked kernel debug kit files reference an iMac with identifier J833c on platform H17C, which maps to the codename Sotra C associated with the M5 Max.
- MacRumors reported the findings, with related summaries and screenshots also circulating on Weibo and BiliBili.
- The same leak outlines a wider 2026 Mac lineup, including M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, M5 MacBook Air, M5 and M5 Pro Mac mini, and Mac Studio models with M5 Max and M5 Ultra, plus a MacBook using an A18 Pro chip.
- Outlets caution that kernel debug kits often list test-only hardware, so the M5 Max iMac entry may not correspond to a retail product.
- Apple has not confirmed specifications such as display size, pricing, or timing for any pro-focused iMac.
