The NYPD has to scrap 36,000 Windows phones it provided officers over the past two years because they are already obsolete and can't be upgraded, reports the New York Post.The smartphones were purchased as part of a $160 million NYPD Mobility Initiative but just months after the last phone was handed out, officials are now planning to replace them all with brand new iPhones by the end of the year.
On July 11th, Microsoft ended support for Windows Phone 8.1. The company said there will be no new security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options or online technical content updates for devices running Windows Phone 8.1 or earlier.
