Well yeah, I think it's safe to say there would be future releases.
That's technology.
I haven't worked at Apple for 6 months, but even so, I can't speculate more than the above, even if I were to know more than I do, which I don't.
So your best way to determine when updates will happen and in what form and how extensive would be to look at past releases of hardware and software and see the trends. Obviously, this is a new product, but it's the same company, which, btw, prides itself on innovation and also is famous for holding its cards extremely close.
