Welp it's now confirmed that the Switch successor won't launch anytime before April 2024. It was pretty surprising the amount of people who thought the Switch successor would launch at the end of 2023 or early 2024. If that were the case we'd see a ton of rumors and leaks at this point and Nintendo would need to begin marketing for the system now if it had that release window which wouldn't be feasible to do just a few months after TOTK releases.

However, what has been surprising me is that Nintendo isn't gonna release a new Switch model/revision. Nintendo has shown in their past that they love milking successful consoles like crazy like the DS,3DS,Gameboy,ect.. and they would release a ton of new models for those consoles even AFTER the successor released like the Gameboy Micro and New 2DS Xl, and many of Nintendo's new models don't really add much new but they still release them. I'm surprised Nintendo isn't doing this with the Switch in the near future especially with sales declining. I think a TV only Switch would be very nice, Switch Oled Lite, or potentially a straight up Switch pro, there's many possibilities for Nintendo to do revisions its surprising Nintendo won't do that in the near future.

2024 launch for Switch 2 has looked obvious for a while now. They're not releasing any more Switch models because the next one coming is the Switch 2 and they don't want to screw around with that. 

If Switch 2 was 2023, they always would have delayed Zelda: ToTK to launch alongside it, it would make no sense not to. 

Maybe after Switch 2 they might do something like a final definitive Switch Lite revision with a larger screen or something but other than that, think the current Switch is basically done. Switch OLED is the Switch Pro/New 3DS XL equivalent for the Switch.
