Pray tell, what is the difference?

I mean, I agree with you. But the general unwashed masses take
"pre-announced" to mean "announced prior to its availability".

Steve Jobs announces products far, far before their availability so as
to drum up excitement among those same unwashed masses.

What do YOU mean by "it wasn't pre-announced, it was merely announced"?

You will ignore this, because you are now out of options.
