For some time now there has been an irony which Windows Phone died, but if we are to see, this Microsoft operating system for smartphones has died long ago, but the company did not admit it.
In a series of tweets, Joe Belfiore (One of Microsoft executives) has revealed that the software giant will no longer develop new features or hardware for the 10 Windows Mobile. While Windows Phone fans expected Microsoft to upgrade the platform with new features.
It is now clear that the operating system has been put into maintenance mode with only bug fixes and security UPDATES for existing users.
According to Joe Belfiore, "Of course, Microsoft will continue to support the platform ... bug fixes, security updates." "But creating new features and hardware is not the focus."
What was the cause of the death of Windows Phone?
Microsoft's top executive also admitted that he switched to Android as well as Bill Gates and that Microsoft will support Windows 10 customers who want to use Android and iOS on their phones. One of the big reasons why Microsoft is giving up on Windows Phone is because developers never supported the platform. Microsoft has had many problems with its Windows Phone application store and the inability to retain applications once they were developed.
Now it's clear that Microsoft has faced the reality that people do not need Windows on their phones. The software maker has been focusing on iOS and Android apps and experiences for the past two years. The Microsoft Edge is on its way to iOS and Android.
Rest in peace Windows Phone ...
