I suspect it may be referring to a specific branch, like the AU, not the Creator's Update and future updates.

Yep, you are right

Hoping for the best

Each major OS update moves forward the EOL, so no need to panic . If Redstone 3 and 4 will focus enough on mobile, the OS could be very different by 09/2018

Yeah AU.....hopefully

Windows phone.... dead. Windows mobile.... dead. This shouldn't be a shock to anyone at this point. The goal is Windows 10, period. That includes on ARM in mobile devices. It's no longer going to be labeled anything but Windows 10. The EOL is meaningless, but likely points to a specific build. Regardless, it's dead.

If you look carefully, 2018-01-09 is the end date for the initial release of Windows 10 Mobile (10586). The end date for the Anniversary Update is 2018-09-10.

Like Mihai said, future releases will have later end dates. There is no need to panic.

What crap is this, this isn't for Windows Mobile in entirety

so... what happens next?

Reboot.

It's a great thing that Microsoft will be supporting most devices for 24 months. The previous versions of Windows was supported for a lesser period.

Well this kind of sucks. Hopefully it's a specific version of the OS

For the regular consumer it already is. The T-Mobile Alcatel is the only mainstream consumer device left that still gives a hint of it's continued existence but I suspect it's only Windows Enthusiasts that are buying them. When it reaches end of life, it will certainly be telling if Alcatel replaces it with another Windows 10 Mobile device.

Panic Stations!! haha (JK).

I think this is similar to how WhatsApp works. Every time they release a new update, it extends the life of the Application. Often i forget to update my WhatsApp and then i get a message saying "this version is too old to use and no longer works, please update to a newer version for full functionality". So I'm not too worried about EOL for Windows 10. I still think we have a few years left before anything goes away. Stay positive people

Every major Windows 10 mobile build has it's own support time. With every new Build the support is extended.
