Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update May Launch August 9th
Microsoft's official Twitter account for Lumia in India posted a tweet indicating the August 9 release date, adding that "if you have any queries, we'll be here for you!" However, the tweet has since been taken down. Questions asking about the release to mobile devices have been met with vague responses that reference the Anniversary Update in general, and not specifically to Windows 10 Mobile.
"That's a great question!," Lumia India stated in response to a question on Twitter about when the Anniversary Updae will arrive for Lumia devices. "Microsoft will roll out the new update August 2 gradually, meaning it will take time for the update to reach everyone. Usually, it can take a couple of days, and even a few weeks, for devices to download and install a significant update like Windows 10 Anniversry Update. We're just here if you have further questions."
We're crossing out fingers that the originally Twitter post was correct and that Microsoft will begin rolling out its Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update on next Tuesday. However, keep in mind that not all devices will be supported. Here's a look at the ones can upgrade to Windows 10:
