But what ace could they possibly have left up their sleeve?

OLED screen? Their competitors are already there and userland's reaction has been decidedly mixed.

I honestly can't think of anything else. Pony?

Larger screen/touch-area. More networks. PixelQi screen.

New form factors -- keyboard, flip/clamshell.

Surprising internal specs -- storage, speed.

Though I think it unlikely, an announcement of Verizon support would definitely do it for the US audience, good call.

More screen changes seem unlikely though [1]. The density/resolution is already a huge, attention-grabbing update. Apple tends to parcel those updates out. E.g. they didn't jump straight into HD video capture. They released a slightly-better camera first.

New form factors strike me as about as likely as a convertible tablet MacBook or an attached-keyboard iPad update.

The internal specs... Apple doesn't talk about those much. Surely it'll be even-faster with more flash. But beyond confirmation of an Apple-designed SoC [2], they wouldn't even mention those specs. Let alone hype them to the press.

[1] Does PixelQi even have samples at the pixel-density the update is boasting? Let alone at volume? I honestly don't know.

[2] Something that would have been spoiled by handing the hardware to Gizmodo btw
