Here's my prediction : apple is currently working on a replacement framework for cocoa (at least uikit), that will be writen for swift first, taking advantage of its great special features.
My other guess is that it will come in time for ios 10 and be cross-platform ( aka work on mac os as well as ios).
I have absolutely zero inside info, but the fact is cocoa felts great and elegant on ios3 , but with all the latest additions it now starts to feel old and convoluted. Objective-c has been patched incredibly well but can only go so far, and the convergence of hardware between devices makes the distinction between computers and tablets more and more obsolete.

Having just written an OSX app after doing UIKit for several years, it feels incredibly old and clunky in comparison. Even simple layer transform animations are for the most part unsupported!
