There does not seem to be any further retrofitting happening, does it?
They said they are going to retrofit the A380s soon, and the most recent article says they are to start the process from late 2018 (Well we're already in 2019, so they could have very well started this) according to this link even though it's from late 2017:

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostNo, I interpret the switch to Ver 1 in June on JFK to be because by then they won't have enough Ver 2 left to reliably operate SQ26/5. The refit could be underway already with SKQ. We just have to wait and see- there's been no announcements to the contrary but nothing to indicate they're started yet either.

Originally posted by sbs2716g View PostSo far, there isn’t any indication of any flight going to change to 6F within the next 2-3 months. But there seem to be some confirmation that one of the current London A380 (SQ308) will be going from 12F to 6F from 1st sept.

There are some news that suggets that the refitted A380s will ply some routes from September onwards - which would put the first refurbishment of the older A380s to start from July onwards, and there were mentioned that some improvements will be made and hope for the suites the doors will not face directly opposite to each other as to offer some privacy when the doors are opened.
