It is no secret that hardcore Windows Phone fans blame Microsoft for abandoning its own mobile platform and have shifted focus on Android and iOS. But every time the software giant is faced with this question, they say this is not the case and reiterates commitment to its own operating system.
Windows Phone analyst Joe Belfiore, who has long been the go-to person for everything Windows Phone, has taken to Twitter to address the criticism. This comes after several posts aimed against Microsoft for offering features to link Android and iPhones with Windows 10 PCs, but without any mention of Windows 10 Mobile.
“I honestly don't get why they hate windows phone so much. The OS is so good, edge is awesome, continuum is amazing. Android is so rubbish,” user @maxgetsit tweeted. “We don't feel the love though. We usually feel more like 2nd class citizens when it comes to MS products and services. Just sayin',” @Dan12R continued.
However, as far as Joe Belfiore is concerned, the company does not hate Windows Phone and this is why the company is improving iPhone and Android apps. But now it seems like a super challenge trying to figure out the connection between them after Belfiore tweet.
“We have no hate for WP! In fact, we're trying to bring some of it's benefits (Cortana, PC connection) to our tons of iOS/Android users,” he said, before eventually calling for iPhone users to try out the company’s latest Windows 10 build and send feedback to the company on the linking feature.
“iPhone users, We're waiting for an app update in the App Store. When that's online, you're up. Doesn't require a new build of iOS, etc,” he posted.
There have been rumors that Microsoft is working on a complete overhaul of the Windows 10 Mobile and just yesterday the company shipped a surprise new feature for Windows Phone users.
