So....it'll have a pencil? Yawn.
It might. It’s a rumour for now.

The problem is 90Hz is the max for AMOLED’s. Don’t know if the technology is there yet for 120Hz this early.
That’s not true.
There are oled with 120hz refresh rates.
I know lg is currently offering a 4.3 inch amoled display with 120hz refresh rate, they demoed it in May.
So far all indications are that it will be a pretty boring upgrade for the 5.8" X this year. A12 chip, some camera improvements, maybe some FaceTime improvements (?) Unless they pull a surprise out of the hat, sounds like it's not a compelling reason to upgrade from the 2017 X.

What else would you expect? Apple is not going to overhaul the entire phone process in just one year. For those who upgraded last year, may not have a reason upgrade this year. Quite a few members were holding off to upgrading to see what the second generation iPhone would be like, just for the sake of maturity with technical improvements.
Well, I have to admit - I’m also considering the design aspect here: With wireless charging (and AirPower!) I could reduce the number of iDevice cables lying or dangling around by 2/3! I’m really looking forward to tidy up the small side table dedicated to our electronic devices.I don’t agree that you’re saying wireless charging is a ‘gimmick’, as maybe there is a more of an appropriate term that you just don’t find that technology useful perhaps. Anyways, you’re paying for a convenience factor with wireless charging, that’s really it. But I certainly think it serves it’s purpose just in terms of ease-of-use, but obviously opinions vary.
Guess it depends on how you define "signficant". In former times, outer design has changed significantly every two years ("non-S") and internal saw technology every two years in the "s-years".Significant updates happen every 2 years. Everyone should know this by now.
Not really true anymore.Significant updates happen every 2 years. Everyone should know this by now.

However, while that distinction was already difficult to argue earlier, by now Apple managed to blur the lines completely. At least for technical changes / improvements.
Therefore it is now - more than ever - heavily dependent on the individual user's expectation whether a change is significant or not.
In other words: There is no "common knowledge" (as you imply it) anymore ...
Not many changes coming to the XS
Apple said iOS 12 needs to be an updated and polished software so that’s where they concentrated their efforts
Also Tim Cook has doubled down on secrecy so not many leaks this year
