The 789 is the only variant that can do SFO-SIN, and it’s in no way a 772 replacement. The -10 is close.

Boeing has said unequivocally there will be nothing even resembling a new airplane the rest of this decade. They’re still trying to turn a profit on the 787 program and they’ll probably never dig themselves out of the losses the Max created. The last thing they have the ability to do is outlay a few dozen billion for another new airplane, more so one that their bean counters will screw up again.
