And my answer is "It is not an uncommon practice to put a version on new devices that has not been announced and made available to the public."

Many developers work on builds, reach some level of stability with a build, and include that build on newer devices. These newer devices are a step ahead of older devices When the developer posts a formal firmware update, then all devices get up to the same level of firmware.
