I can think of a number things that would--to me--be nice products to have...
Setting aside the Pi6 (which, as noted, everyone wants) in part because the feature set is probably set in stone by now, looking further ahead, I'd like to see the number and speed of the exposed PCIe lane(s) increased. Increasing the number of lanes, until it gets to 4, is probably more useful than speeding them up.
The existing USB 3 hub is all very well, but to provide the full, nominal 900mA to all ports at the same time, it needs to be able to accept more than 3A input. To that end, an upgrade to use PD on input (thus making effective use of the RPL 27W and 45W PSUs, even if the hub only takes 5v).
Back when the original 7" screen was being talked about, there was some loose talk about a 10" follow on. It'd be nice to see that.
Now that we have the 15.6" portable monitor, I'd love to see a 22" to 24" successor.
