The problem with Apple is that they got way too much money. Even if they don't want to, this will force them into innovation. The top management is obviously simply enjoying their own (perceived) awesomeness. But they got a zillion of engineers and I doubt that they are all bored by just hanging around. They hired several "camera" engineers back in 2013. They will produce an output.

I am pretty sure that we'll also see something about bokeh/shallow DoF soon (just a mild variation of the focus stacking JoJu mentioned) or advanced image auto correction based on a series of images (not just increasing the total resolution but the local one).  etc. pp.
