Firmware updates?

[LightenSkies]

I know Microsoft plans to not make any phones for right now. But would us and people with XL still get firmware updates? I feel there still room for improvements on both devices. Or maybe it just me?

Would be nice to think so but wouldn't bet on it. As with most manufactures you are lucky to get one let alone multiples, agree there is always room for improvement yet as things go these manufactures are focusing on "what's next" and not "how can we continue to improve old hardware" and considering the 950 XL has hit the 1 year mark, well you know.

I see your point. Rather sad though to think that it may not get anymore updates. Especially for a flagship phone. -.- Then no surprise when I had my Lumia it had no updates and when I look it only had what I think 3 and that was it? from what gather from one site for that phone. If im not mistaken the 950/XL only had 3 updates too right?

Since I don't own a 950 series can't honestly comment on how many firmware updates they actually received. My 830 got zippo yet was eligible for the upgrade from 8.1 to 10, still think it could benefit from a firmware update but she's far too old now.

I'd like some more updates but right now I'm fine

We finally got tap to wake, so I'm feature set as far as FW updates go.
