How are your MS stocks and salary guys? I am asking because you care more about MS resources rather than the money you paid for your 1020.
I mentioned it before and I will mentioned it again that I don't care about the processor etc. It was Nokia decision to introduce their flagship model with it and MS promise to support all devices for 3 years. Also they were proud of WP not needing high specs to run smoothly etc and now they use it as an excuse.
Forget the 4K etc.
Do we need a better processor to open the app faster? No. Do we need a better processor to have better algorithms? No. Based on MS comments will we get anything? No.
So bottom line I really love my 1020 and it was the reason to also try WP but the actual OS and support is a joke!
Well how are your Google and Apple stocks doing? Since you seem to want them to keep sinking more and more money on attempting to add features to a phone that may not be making as much money for them anymore, even as they want to sell their newer devices.
Yes, its being supported for 36 months. Updates? Yup, its still getting Windows Phone 8.1 Update, and soon 10. They still will service 1020's in/out of warranty, etc. Tell me where the word "support" means "the exact additional features and upgrades gpgalanis wants, everyone else and qualified people be damned"
Support doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get every single additional feature, every single dinky switch, etc. The iPhone 4 did indeed see software upgrades up until iOS 8 launched. But wait, as I've said, it never got Siri! (and we do know for a fact it was possible) IT DIDN'T EVEN GET TOUCH ID. APPLE SHOULD HAVE ENABLED TOUCH ID - MY SISTER PAID LOTS OF MONEY FOR THE 4. WAKE UP.
Look around, the fields on the other platforms may seem greener, but it really depends. HTC dropped OS upgrades for the One S, X smartphones a long ago, while the similarly aged Lumia 920 still is slated for 10. etc.
Windows Phone doesn't necessarily need the fastest hardware around, but it doesn't mean its immune to reality and the laws of physics. I've seen someone else argue about how their low-end (not sure which model, it may have been the 520) Lumia should be getting 4K video recording since "its possible" because the 520 has a 5 MP camera.
Do we need a better processor to open the app faster? Depends. But it without a doubt helps a lot.
Do we need a better processor to have better algorithms? Algorithms are tailored to each phone, so they would have to spend resources specifically for the 1020, and the 1020 already performs great and doesn't have glaring widespread photo issues as far as I know.
Based on MS comments will we get anything? Of course not! OS updates be damned! Getting Windows 10 isn't anything, developing it took no effort on their part because I know better than the coders and team! What was I thinking?
Jokes on you, since you seem to hold Microsoft to a standard above and beyond the industry.
