The question is not if Java is going to disappear in those 10 years or not. Of course not. The question is whether or not Java is going to go the way of the mainframe: still alive and doing well and making tons of money, but also a niche, certainly not taught in schools and only a matter of time for it to be replaced by a compatible and cheaper technology. By cheaper here I mean cheaper programming labour - something that IS taught in schools, so it's easy to recruit 100s of people to throw at a problem.

Yes, a volume button is a button that changes the volume, always.

On your next year's iPhone or iPad, the volume may become a wheel or a slider or whatever. Then the app will not work and blame goes to Apple for changing it. They are future-proofing the apps, making sure they have enough space for changes they may come up with.
