> day and date of release
Doesn't have to be day and date of release for apple to learn that they don't want to upgrade.
Most enterprise customers have customer management teams at apple and like, so they can easily learn that company [x,y,z] may not buy full fleet upgrades (or even partial fleet) and downscale manufacturing.
I bet that chip fab costs are high right now. If apple knows they can slow production down until next spring, they may chose to do that to save money.
