It's that time of the year! The day we remember Windows Phones, which turned 15 years old today.
Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone 7 on October 21, 2010, as a successor to Windows Mobile. Windows Phone 7 shipped with Live Tiles, smooth animations, and a clean Metro design that inspired later versions of Windows, including Windows 8 and even Windows 10.
Sadly, the dream of Windows on phones didn’t last. Despite loyal users and great cameras, the app gap hurt adoption. Microsoft tried again with Windows Phone 8, then Windows 10 Mobile, but developers had already moved on.
By 2017, the company confirmed it would stop active development, and by 2020, all support ended.
