Five new Mac models on macOS Big Sur have appeared on Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). The unannounced models are listed along with several registered Macs and iPhones devices.
The EEC is a regional organization that is established to bring economic integration among the founding member states: Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. After signing the European Economic Area, this international regulatory body includes 15 member states for free movement of goods, services, and more.

The company’s CEO, Tim Cook also announced that the first-generation Apple Silicon Mac will arrive later this year. Maybe the discovered new Mac models in the EEC listing are the upcoming ARM Macs.
