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.

Not true. There were already families of devices from a long time ago GBA SP, game boy color, DS lite, etc.

No he was talking about something else, more like the New 3DS in your example, which is not just a change in form factor, but a change in hardware capabilities. The Apple line was cited because it offers jumps in hardware without causing incompatibilities with the current model. That's the main difference.

New 3DS wasn't a soft successor though, it was a hardware revision, similar to DSi. That's most likely what we will see with Switch; multiple revisions forming a single family but with a definitive next-gen successor in a few years time rather than iterative smartphone-type soft successors every couple of years.
