Giving out that sort of information would change some amount of people from just buying now to waiting for the new product. That's nice from a customer standpoint but bad for Apple.
Consider:
1) Less outdated inventory moved.
2) More problems keeping up with new product demand, which Apple already can't do.
3) More customers think about the question of buy now or wait when making a purchase. This doesn't sound like a lot, but Apple strives for the simplest possible buying experience.
