Windows Phone users: Your reminder that support ends in December 2019

Mary Jo Foley, ZDNet:

Just a reminder for those still using Windows Phones: Microsoft is ending its support of the Windows 10 Mobile platform on December 10, 2019. That’s a little more than two years after Microsoft released Windows 10 Mobile 1709 in October 2017, which was its last version of the Windows Phone operating system.

In an interesting rationalization based on its corporate catchphrase, Microsoft says “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.”

It’s been the case for a while that Microsoft decided to quit the phone market, but now it’s truly time to move on, Windows Phone holdouts.
