In addition to abandoning the platform, Microsoft has released no new Windows phone hardware since early 2016 with the Lumia 650. It sounds like the Microsoft Store will continue to function after the end of support date on December 10, but there's no guarantee as to how long that will last. In regards to app updates, Microsoft says app support may end at anytime, as it is up to the discretion of the developer building apps that still support Windows 10 Mobile. In addition, features such as automatic photo upload and restoring from a backup may stop working within 12 months after March 10, 2020. After that, there is no guarantee that those features will continue to work. Users will still be able to create automatic or manual backups of apps and settings until March 10, 2020.

The company has already stopped releasing new versions of Windows 10 Mobile, with Redstone 2 being the last major Windows 10 Mobile update released. Come December, Microsoft will stop releasing security and bug fix patches for Windows 10 Mobile.
If you're still using a Windows phone, this year is the last year of official support from Microsoft. It was no longer committed to building new features, experiences, or devices for Windows 10 Mobile, and within the next year, the company would outright abandon the platform as support comes to an end. In 2017, Microsoft announced that it was "no longer focused" on building out its mobile platform and that from then onwards, the company would only service Windows phones with bug fix and security patches.
