Quote from article "While Google focused attention on AI processing cores for use in cloud server farms, Apple can incorporate these type of hardware technology right into their phone or other devices, enabling local computation that can work even when the network isn't available."
Think this is a highly optimistic statement given that Apple can't even perform basic Siri voice instructions on my phone without a data connection!
No, that's 11 years. 2007-2016 "inclusive" is 10 years.
You could just count it on your fingers, like this:
June 2007-June 2008 = 1 year June 2008-June 2009 = 2 years June 2009-June 2010 = 3 years June 2010-June 2011 = 4 years June 2011-June 2012 = 5 years June 2012-June 2013 = 6 years June 2013-June 2014 = 7 years June 2014-June 2015 = 8 years June 2015-June 2016 = 9 years June 2016-June 2017 = 10 years

Then again I am terrible with birthdays and anniversaries so I could be wrong. Thank goodness for calendar reminders.
The article stated "This year is the tenth year of iPhone", which it is indeed. The article did NOT state that the iPhone is 10 years old. Analogy: When I turn 60, I am in (beginning) my 7th decade.
You could just count it on your fingers, like this: <Snip> At least that's how I count it.

Or you could count it like this:
June 2007 - iPhone 1
<Snip>
Which illustrates the confusion: The "IPhone 1" came out at the beginning of the first year. So the "iPhone 10" would come out at the beginning of the tenth year, which is the end of the ninth year, which isn't the tenth anniversary. To make "iPhone 10" match the tenth anniversary, we needed an "iPhone 0" at the beginning 'cos it was the zero-th anniversary - don't see that flying with the marketing people.
For low hanging fruit, I'd like to see Watch apps that run on iPhone also run on iPad, perhaps sync through iCloud if not directly w Watch. Seems like it would not be too hard, both iOS, and would allow better display of complex data, perhaps multiple windows. -- JRW

Wow, all the techie wannabes here are fantasizing about what WWDC will bring. Get ready because none of it will happen. Apple doesn’t do wiz-bang techie/nerd nonsense. As a typical user I am looking for improvements in my user experience, things that will make my online life easier, not more complicated. Hopefully Apple will continue to focus on users like me instead of going all out for the wiz-bang crowd who won’t be satisfied anyway, no matter what Apple does.
You can't say "Apple will prolong its cycle to every 3 years" and then suggest that it will make a new device in the fall, then in the spring again.
Similarly, you can't state that Apple should get rid of the S model, and then offer up that a 10S model should come out in the spring.... Stick to your story
Apple has developed a pretty good online retail store. Why isn't it a prominently placed app integrated into the Mac computing experience, and available from the billion iPhones, iPads and Apple TVs the company already has installed?
There's an app in the Dock on a Mac called "App Store". There is also an app on iOS called "App Store". You might want to give these a look, they seem to have the functionality for which you wish...
The best part about WWDC this year is, apart from a handful of items, the rumorsphere has absolutely no idea what is in store for this year's software.
Not to be a nit-picker, but the original NeXT computer had a two-bit, not four-bit, greyscale display. But with two bits per pixel, it could produce four shades of grey (black, dark grey, light grey, and white), and dithering these greys could produce pretty nice, photo-like gradations. It was remarkable what a difference one more bit made!
No, that's 11 years. 2007-2016 "inclusive" is 10 years.
Anniversaries are based on the last two digits in a year. (I can't believe this has to be explained)
For example: 1776-1976
The US Bicentennial was not in 1975
Therefore... iPhone 2007-2017
Not 2016
It's not about the anniversary, it's about the model number. If model (1) was was launched in 2007, 9 models later, model (10) will be launched in 2016 ...I can't believe this has to be explained.

I'm pretty sure the reference is to hardware not software.

It is absolutely about the anniversary.
As soon as the comment thread mentioned a year... like 2007 for instance... we're talking about anniversaries.
2007-2017
If you wanna talk about iPhone models... that's a whole other discussion. And that's not very accurate either... since there have been a few years more than one model were launched. iPhone 5S and 5C were launched in a single year... and let's not forget the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and 6S and 6S Plus.
In short... there are already more than 10 models.

Delivering something truly new and innovative is becoming harder by the year.
Speaking of reminders, will Calendar's alerts still be limited to the same lead times? (One hour - two hours - 24 hours)
