You could be right, but I disagree. A new hardware version, even with minor tweaks, would require weeks (at least 2-3) of testing to make sure there are no regressions. The fire was out some 3 weeks ago, my opinion is that there hasn't been enough time to skew and test a new version. But it is just an opinion.

I've worked for one of the big electronics companies near Seattle (no not Amazon) and small revisions shortly after launch are fairly commonplace in the industry.
Also remember that if they started doing a mass production run, spotted some issue with a small number of units and re-tooled based off of that they could have produced enough units to cover a few weeks of shipping, then slipped in the newer revision.
I'm not saying this is the case, but I am saying I have seen this happen more than a few times in my years in the tech industry.
