I actually think Apple is about integrating different hardware to create unique interface experiences which are cross-device. I suspect it's not going to be 'one technology' any time soon, it's going to be lots of devices working together seamlessly.
For example, if I am playing music on my Airpods from my iPhone and my phone is in my pocket, turning the crown on my apple watch is a really neat and intuitive way to change the volume. The first time I did it and it worked it felt like magic.
Similarly walking down a street and getting audio directions on AirPods almost works - but if that's combined with a small map on my watch it works much better - better than a phone.
But at the same time, neither a watch or Airpods are going to be the right way to send a private text message on a quiet bus, and because a giant new unifying technology isn't with us yet, I suspect a hybrid approach is going to be with us for a while.
