NYPD Scraps 36,000 Windows Phones

Stefan Mileschin · 29th August 2017, 06:33

Given the dominance and support for both iPhones and Android based phones in the market, who in the hell thinks it is a good idea to go with Windows Phones? That said, I have heard great things about Windows phones from people that actually own those. However they have been telling me that apps support gets smaller and smaller by the day. And it looks like the NYPD is in that same boat. It is reported that they will be moving to iPhones. The New York Police Department is being forced to scrap 36,000 Windows Phones bought just two years ago as part of a $160M mobility project. The move has been forced by Microsoft's decision to cease support for the platform as of last month.
