If that is the case, it makes sense for them to stagger them, since Apple's "Hype Machine" can capitalize on it more.
edit: Correction, there is a new one as well. That doesn't make sense to me, unless they are shifting to capitalize on the Christmas market. Wonder if Steve Jobs had something to do with it not being that way previous to now.

They probably wanted to standardize on the lightning connector as soon as possible and they had the A6 already so could bump up the perf specs to raise the bar just before Surface and the next android tablet come out. And yes, in time for Christmas.
iOS and OSX may be getting a bit stale but they sure can crank out some impressive hardware.
