I think it's speculation at this point, but if it is indeed as popular as it appears to be (hard to find everywhere), a carbon tier seems a likely eventuality.
The Apex model gets you upgraded wheels, the WTB i23 light, which is the only part of the bike I've felt needs upgrading from the get go on the 105 model. And even then, the i23s that come stock seem pretty capable, if not exactly light, so they may be just fine depending on your use case for the bike.
