> So if one needs to evolve AR hardware from phones to glasses, then putting it on the phones is a prudent next step, isn't it?

Time will tell, but if we are let's say 10 years away from good AR glasses what difference does it make if smartphones of today can display AR content?

Obviously Apple (and now Google) are fighting in the marketing space, not technical one.

In truth the problem is really hardware not software.

I don't think it will take that long to have lightweight additive projection glasses with some sort of camera/depth sensor and eye tracking.

The processing power or battery for that form factor will not be there for another 10 years - but offloading processing and power supply to the phone in your pocket via well designed tethering is conceivable.

I think we'll have this in a couple of years, and you'll control it via voice recognition and hand gestures.
