Actually revisions could become more frequent with Switch because with fact that Switch is hybrid there too many opportunities of different types of Switch hardware and price points.

Switch is 28nm and there is already 20nm Nvidia chip that gives better battery life and less heat. Switch doesn't need to be bigger, but always is nice to have more variations of hardware (look at 3DS). Nintendo already released 2DS like part of 3DS family, that tells us that Nintendo does not fear to make different versions of console.

The Switch uses 20nm technology ... 

And the Switch arguably has less paths to choose from than the other Nintendo handhelds before once we factor in the things I mentioned ... (the only reasonable aspect of releasing non-portable SKU is to get a potentially lower price)

Yes, my bad, Switch is using 20nm and there is already 16nm Nvidia Tegra chip...rest of my post.

Switch Mini/Pocket is almost certain thing, bigger Switch with 1080p screen that will have same performance in handheld mode like currently has in docked mode is also possible with new Tegra, maybe we could have even Switch just for home TV use but for that chances are definitely much smaller than for Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play. Its not point only about lower price point, but about difrent price points and difrent type of revisions that suits difrent neeed of consumers, look at 3DS, you have price point from $80 to $200,from 2DS that isn't clamshell form factor and dont have 3D to New 3DS XL.
