It looks and feels just like iOS 7 app, but it's not. So it makes me wonder - why release now, and not wait a week, and make it true iOS 7 app, iOS 7-only.

Apple is apparently already approving releases built against the iOS 7 SDK, so it may indeed be an iOS 7 app already.

David Smith (FeedWrangler, and a bunch of other things) has had an iOS 7 update approved too: https://twitter.com/_DavidSmith/status/378147860774395905

Not everyone will be on iOS 7 right away. Remember the Maps debacle last time around? This way they can get their userbase used to a new look for when they transition.
