The day is here. The imminent end of windows phones has finally come.
Its no secret that Microsoft has been stepping away from its failed smartphone business and windows phones altogether. But now Microsoft has come out and plugged out whatever lifeline its mobile devices were hanging onto.
Microsoft urged user to switch to either iOS or Android. We knew that the end was inevitable but it is still sad to see a tech company so large has to bow out of the smartphone market. And no doubt that it is a big loss for the company which bought Nokia with ambitions of dominating the then emerging smartphone market.
“With the Windows 10 Mobile OS end of support, we recommend that customers move to a supported Android or iOS device. Microsoft’s mission statement to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more, compels us to support our Mobile apps on those platforms and devices,”
The support page also reads that the support ends on June 11, 2019 and by end of 2019 (Dec 10,2019) users will no longer receive “security updates, non-security hotfixes, free assisted support options, or online technical content updates from Microsoft.”
