That sounds about right. No radical architectural shifts, but bitcode submissions should let Apple optimize apps automatically for whatever latest tweaks are available in issue width or fused instructions.
My most radical speculation is an iPhone A-series chip with an additional low power ARM core especially to support Watch apps without burning too much "host" device battery.
