iPhone 5
When June came and went without leaving behind a shiny new iPhone offering, the rumor mill heated up more than even before. OK, so we didn't have a phone, but we have the new iOS 5 to ***look to for future treats***, and to more than hint at what the iPhone 5 features might be. There was indeed plenty to get excited about if you are a lover of all things fruity and green, but a lot of us were left with a feeling of "OK, so aren't there operating systems and devices that offer that already?"

从中获得乐趣
a treat is a thing that gives great pleasure, especially one unexpected or not always available.
iOS 5 has been delivered on Jun 6 this year. As there's no iPhone 5 to enjoy, we have to dig into this new release instead.
Please note that a treat has nothing to do with any surprise or excitement, so IMHO 惊喜 is not an appropriate interpretation considering the context.
Since 从中获得乐趣 is a literal translation, a better attempt may be:
好吧,虽然 iPhone 5 还没有发布,但是至少我们还能拿 iOS 5 来聊以慰藉。

可指望在未来获得惊喜
new iOS 5 to look to for future treats 的断句为 {new iOS 5 to look to} for future treats
意思是有新 iOS 5可依靠、可指望,因此在将来可能会有新的惊喜。
