Who remembers the Nokia Lumia 1020?

It was released in mid 2013 sporting a 41MP camera which was quite ground breaking at the time.

A luxury I never owned because I was only working part time back then.

Oh, I was thinking the phone looked like it had Windows 8 on it when I looked it up.

man it really was, I clung to it until they officially stopped pushing security updates

the only problem with the platform was nobody was developing for it

I just remembered something I haven't thought off in years:

The official BUNGiE app (before it become know as "Destiny") was only available for iOS and Android since 2009.

BUNGiE still had ties with Microsoft back then yet there app wasn't available for Windows Phone?

I believe bungie had cut ties with microsoft following the release of Halo 3 in '07, and continued to develop the Halo series as per the terms of their spinoff agreement.

Microsoft owned the IP and bungie worked on it independently, whereas before bungie owned the IP and microsoft owned them.

Windows Phones were great, they had some features that Android was missing for a while.
What killed it was lack of support. Most common apps never had a WinPhone release and that made the phone useless in a lot of situations.
Also fuck Google for not letting MS release their own YT app.
