Swallowing the pill of truth is something companies are reluctant to do, perhaps due to the backlash it will receive in the future. Unfortunately, even giants like Microsoft have to face the harsh reality when it is looking at them right in the eye, and the company has finally admitted that its Windows Phone is dead.

In a series of tweets, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore has revealed on the micro-blogging social media network that the software giant will no longer be bringing in hardware and feature updates to Windows Phone. What this means is that the company is not going to be introducing newer models bearing powerful SoCs. However, it has not abandoned the platform completely as the executive notes that bug and security fixes will continue to be released in a timely fashion.
