I don't get this flat vs. skeuomorphic debate. They're not necessarily opposites.
Skeuomorphic doesn't necessarily mean photorealistic. Flat doesn't necessarily mean white text on bold colors. I believe you can have a design that is both skeuomorphic and flat, though I don't expect them to do that.
I think it's safe to say Apple will move away from skeuomorphism, but that doesn't necessarily embrace some pure form of what we've been calling "flat" design.
