I remember the rumors of a 2025 release date and thinking that is oddly far into the future. If you were deeply involved in the project you would know that those dates weren't accurate so it must have been someone on the periphery. In that case the number of possible date combinations will be far fewer than the number of people who need to be informed so it seems this must have been a targeted communication to someone Apple suspected was leaking information.

They plan their phones multiple years ahead. We already know the next 4 phones will have basically no difference.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re equally boring with their software.
