The version number is suspense: Is the current device upgrade 7.7 still missing Apollo?

The current Windows Phone can finally get the Apollo upgrade, which is the most concerned issue for current users. However, a recent German business weekly article said that Microsoft and Nokia insiders confirmed that Windows Phone 8 will not support the current device. However, current Windows Phone will receive a separate Windows Phone 7.6 or 7.7 feature update, although it is not possible to upgrade Apollo, but it can get the same system features as Apollo.

And WPDang has also learned that the Tango version currently associated with Mango to the Windows Phone 7.5 system is determined to be Windows Phone 7.6 itself within Microsoft itself, thus using the feature updates currently obtained by the device. Version, most likely Windows Phone 7.7. At the same time, the article explains why the current device cannot get a Windows Phone upgrade. The article claims that for Microsoft, there is no technical problem with pushing Windows Phone 8 updates to current devices, but because Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.5 use different kernels, the full version of Windows Phone 8 cannot match the current device. At least it can be understood as "uncomfortable melon is not sweet", so you can only choose to push the update separately to provide users with a new functional experience. From the perspective of Microsoft, the official is naturally hope that users can accept this solution, although there are essential differences, but there is not much difference in the functional experience. A Microsoft product manager also mentioned that if the current device (and Windows Phone 8) has the same functionality, then the user will not care which version of the operating system is ultimately used. On this issue, if the program is finally adopted, at least Microsoft has not abandoned the old users by releasing the latest operating system updates to force users to re-purchase new devices.
