Did not notice that. Must be your enhanced bird eyesight :)
Here is the explanation I found.
Cover magazine is often an important element that reflects the main focus or message the publication wants to convey. In its upcoming issue of August 5, 2024, TIME Magazine features a cover that steals attention by featuring Democratic candidate for president Joe Biden, they have shared it with social media platform X.
It’s really nothing tbh. When magazines were sold on newsstands, the date would often be well in advance of publication date so it looked fresh longer.
They still use that even though newsstands are mostly a thing of the past.

Wasn't aware of that.
It was usually two weeks to a month in advance on whatever day of the week they would officially release. If release day was the 2nd Tuesday of the month, all the magazines would be dated the 2nd Tuesday of the month, even though they were printed well before that.
