Nothing they've said or done indicates smartphone style multiple iterative waves. If that was the plan, we would almost certainly know it by now. The fact that we're in Year 4 and the only sign of a replacement is a job listing for a "next generation" device points to them sticking to normal generational paradigm.

It's not true. There is an old direction from Iwata's time that clearly mention Nintendo wanting to follow Apple in their delivery style of hardware and software. I don't want to dig up the old quote because I'm sure I won't find it, but it's in 2014 or 2015.

The directors have changed since then, but it doesn't change an initiative already started by Iwata before he left, much like how pokemon GO, Mario Kart Tour and Super Mario Run were birthed from directions from around the same time.

Iwata talked about a family of devices. That doesn't necessarily mean ongoing waves of iterative soft successors like smartphones though, but more in line with what we already saw with 3DS/3DS XL/2DS/New 3DS. We already have the Switch Lite in keeping with this.
