whatever it is, it will be behind a paywall.
That you can only bypass with a neural link chip
Climate change is already happening. We'll have some gadgets to help cope with that.
Personal coolers already exist. They'll get more practical and more common.
Maybe there'll be commercially available filtered air systems that keep houses at positive pressure to deal with wildfire smoke.
Everything will be over insulated. We'll all where "parkas" with integrated water cooling for our 6 month summers when we go outside
I wish summer was only 6 months long here. Still 'winter' and we are pegged to get to 36 in a couple days, 34 for tomorrow... Wooooo

Something that has Ai that shouldn’t have Ai
I think you misread the question. It's "10 years from now" not "10 days from now". /Jk
How about a smart toaster? It knows what kind of bread you feed it, toasts it just right and understands your feedback. This way, it will update a neural network that covers all types of bread it has ever seen and how you like them toasted.

Dirt cheap genetic sequencing and MRNA vaccines will be available to cure various types of cancer.
I wish. Genetic sequencing is already pretty cheap, but cancer is not some all-encompassing disease to be cured by it.
There will be custom printed MRNA vaccines that target cancers based on sequencing that cancer's own DNA.

I think we're past due for a major technological breakthrough in energy storage that 1) increases energy density, 2) decreases max charge/discharge time, and 3) is more sustainable than, say Lithium.
With how much R&D seems to be pouring into this right now, I have at least hope.
I remember hearing about the development of solid-state batteries a few years ago and I have been anxiously awaiting any news regarding the concept since.
It took about 10 years for the internet to go from academic curiosity to mainstream.
It took about 10 years from the first BlackBerry devices to iPhone/Android ubiquity.
I think VR and AI are at these points right now.

Mass produced sodium ion batteries, even cheaper solar panels, scalable water desalination, military adoption of quantum entanglement communication, high speed rail in California, MacBooks with a touchscreen
Hopefully we’ll see AR become more common place and easily integrated with glasses. Imagine being at a gathering and you can look at someone and get their name, maybe their LinkedIn or other profile. Directions overlaid right in front of you for navigation. Going to a sports game and seeing player stats above the player. Things like that.

More horrific algorithmically-controlled jobs.
Actual autonomous vehicles. It certainly won't be Tesla, and it won't have a steering wheel.
I think road signs will have embedded codes for self driving cars. Whether it's a local broadcast signal, a QR code, or just extra blocky letters for the computer to read easier, road signage and signals will be directed to the computer in the car, not to inform the human in the car.
Maybe much farther out in the future when autonomous vehicles are the default. That's a lot of signage to rejigger for very little gain, while mapping and CV already handle that small part of driving quite well.

Actually efficient hardware and better batteries. I'm really interested in owning a laptop or mobile some day that can comfortably work for 20+ hours without being charged.
Batterie technology is fascinating and I expect big strides in the next 10 years (along with consumer generation of electricity)- to the point where people will be able to basically take their home "off grid" relatively easily.

iPhone 25 I think
Our civilization’s not as advanced as you think. OP’s asking for realistic tech, not sci fi speculation.
iPhone 24 tops
Galaxy S34 Ultra too I guess.
Server side services. Think of things like office online, Google cloud, etc and just expand on it. We already see some with server side gaming. I think it'll be more commonplace in our day to day.
Internet enabled roads, highways. Likely won't be commonly adopted within 10 years but I could see service providers/car companies rolling it out.
I think we're also going to be seeing a lot of robots with new applications. Definitely military. But social and work ones as well.
There's a japanese company working on a kidney rejuvination drug for cats that's meant to come out next year (potential 10 year increase in average lifespan) so we'll almost certainly have that in 10 years which will be nice.
While I think our current brute force method attempt at AI is already hitting the limits of how 'smart' it can be I suspect over the next few years we'll develop far lighter models until your phone having a simulated personality is just a standard (hopefully optional) feature. They'll probably also have an online feature to cross reference their own answers with wikipedia or something.
Deaslination is likely to get significantly better by sheer neccesity.
I like to think we'll have higher frequency rectennas though probably not optical frequency ones.
Smart microwave ovens. Nobody will want them, but at least they'll run Doom.

I think the "smart" home will become more common.
I don't mean that we'll see smart versions of new things, but more of the basic things, like Light fixtures, smoke alarms, doorbells etc. Consumers will buy less and less of the "dumb" things until EVERYTHING has WiFi built into it.
I've worked in the home automation industry for over twenty five years. I've been programming "smart lighting" for over ten.
The "smart home" you see today is largely thanks to how cheaply things are made in china and repackaged by mega-corporations. And the consumers' desire to do everything from their phone (with 2 day shipping). Automated lighting control has existed for over forty years. It's been expensive because the parts are built to last for forty plus years and most of the older system were manufactured in the US. Those manufacturers are still mostly making things in the US but a lot of little bits are imported.
An average 2,500 sq ft home could do a whole automated lighting system for about five grand. That's a lot for someone to buy (and install) from Amazon but it's nothing if it's bundled into your mortgage.
Nothing beats a wire. For a small apartment with a few lighting circuits, sure, spend $500 on some wireless doodads. Now you're stuck relying on software updates and firmware updates by your router, your wireless bridge, your smart buttons, your lighting fixtures, your mobile OS, the lighting app, and maybe another app to combine everything, not to mention your "smart speaker" if you want to yelp your commands into the air. On the other hand, if you get everything from one manufacturer, it's built on an isolated network that grants access to your mobile device and the system is self contained and essentially bulletproof until the power goes out.
Lighting is a life safety segment. You won't pass inspection unless you can turn the lights on and off from a physical switch or button that doesn't rely on your home wifi.
It's up to electricians and builders and AV experts (and CEDIA) to convince future home owners that it's worth getting this stuff installed before the home is built rather than letting them decide to buy something prone to failure on their own.
I love smart lighting. I wish everyone would invest any amount of money into it. But, if I'm reading you right, a wifi lighting world is not something I would hope to see become more commonplace than the current path of wired automated lighting. I'm in agreement with you though. It's really sad when I walk into brand new homes that have no lighting control (or distributed audio) at all.
Am electrician, 100% with you. Relying on apps and wifi for your home is NOT worth the money you save. It's straightforward enough for us to do the job properly, and you will be MUCH happier with the results. It will also improve resale value, which your rinky-dink wifi devices won't. Because they'll be obsolete.
This isn't me saying it to drum up work. We've got plenty of work. I ain't selling nothing here. Invest in an electrician for a few days and it will pay off.

I think the satellite based cellular networks like ASTS is currently trying to launch will be ubiquitous.
The tech already seems good, so it'll happen much sooner than 34, but I imagine by that point it will just be one of those things everyone takes for granted.
I can also see small autonomous drones playing a much larger role with various tasks.
I'm not really a fan of AI that doesn't need to have AI in it, but if you see how rapid it progresses, i would assume AI tools where everyone can make a whole movie by just adding prompts. Like make a batman movie, but i'm batman. It's probably not gonna be great but working. Photoshop skills is gonna be the new: you're not always gonna have a calculator in your pocket.
You've heard of deep fakes he's? Now we got real fakes.
