If the market ever moves away from iPhone, Apple is fucked. At this point, Apple's product line (top to bottom, left side) is iPhone, iPhone accessories, iPhone development kit, big iPhone, and iPhone Cloud.

Replace “iPhone” with “iMac” in this comment and it reads like a prognosis from 15 years ago.

Of course, Apple isn’t going to just remain stagnant and allow new technologies to make their primary business obsolete. They’ll do exactly what they’ve been doing for the last few decades and gladly allow new technologies to cannibalize their own products, just as they did with the iPhone replacing the iPod and the iPad replacing the iMac in the vast majority of use cases.

Market is expected to move from smartphones to smart-glasses in about 10 years, or from iPhone to iGlass (or whatever they decide to call it) to be specific.

was it the same expectation 10 years ago?

Smart glasses will fail for the same reason they failed 10 years ago. Anyone wearing them looks like a smug douche.
