WWDC 2017: What's Coming at Apple's Big Spring Fling

You can always tell when Apple's WWDC developer shindig is nigh. A few months before Tim Cook and his executives take the stage to show off what Apple's software teams have been building for the last year, whispers start to trickle out. The leaks start really flowing a few weeks leading up to the event, and in the last few days before WWDC, the pipes burst, the dam gives, the levee breaks. If the rumors are true (and they usually are), this year's WWDC will be hardware-focused. This year's conference, which starts Monday, has Apple at an interesting crossroads. The gadget-buying world is hyped beyond reason for the tenth-anniversary iPhone, but that's likely not coming until this fall.
