To me personally it means 2-4, otherwise it's a month. It just sounds better, like it's more imminent when put into "the weeks time frame" rather than stating in a month or so.
It's like when you tell your kid "We'll do it in a little bit", but what you are actually meaning is, we're not doing that right now or maybe never, but by me saying that, it will shush you for now and you'll hopefully forget what it was you were wanting.
And she already stated the skin tones would happen before the end of the year, which was changed from the original statement of it happening in the fall (which where I live typically means end of September to beginning of December).
Maybe I'm just used to buying stuff online haha. They always say it'll arrive in 6-8 weeks, not 1-2 months. so "Weeks" to me has always been the phrase up to 8 weeks and that seems kinda common here.
Hahaha I'd never say that to my kid... if I told her "well do that in a bit there's no way she'd shush, rather she'd hound me every two minutes "You said in a little bit mum! It's been a little bit! Can we do it now? How many more minutes?" It's sooo much easier to just say "No" "Probably not" or "Maybe later but not for a long time" to a kid if you really want them to be quiet for awhile.
But yes, totally agree Fall is end of Sept-Start of Dec (actually to the later middle part of Dec), but with Christmas holidays starting at the same time as winter I'm assuming that it probably will still be in the fall, when they say end of the year I'm not thinking they mean after Dec 21 to be honest, so I do think it'll be in the Fall. If it's delayed a few days though for whatever reason I can wait.
