Windows phone discontinued?

My mobile device is MS Lumia 950xl dual sim (runs Windows 10 Mobile).  This is the first smartphone that I've owned.  If you would help me out with choosing between Apple mobile, & Android mobile, which OS would you purchase?

What device you end up getting is a personal choice and it is always a difficult question to reply to. There are pros and cons on every device so my best advice is to go to a cell provider and have them show and explain the different models and that will help you make a decision.

I have not made the change yet, and hopefully, I can hold out for another 6 months but it is coming for me. My wife just switched from a very old Windows Phone that was no longer getting any updates from Verizon. She ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Note8 and has been very happy with it. 

For her (and me) it has been a steep learning curve but once we installed some Microsoft software on it it made a difference. Microsoft Launcher is the best program. It integrates Microsoft services into the Android experience while also adding some design elements that will be familiar to Windows users. So far, it has been a great experience for her.

Oh, nice, thank you.  I've seen, on web, about Samsung Galaxy 9, & even a Galaxy 10.  Don't know if Galaxy 10 is available for purchase, yet.  All I know is that I need RELIABLE.  Any other feedback that you would care to teach me, or do you think that I should be done here?  Thank you very much.

So far my wife really likes her device. Once we put all the Microsoft software on, it was easy for her. She prefers her Microsoft calendar, email and related programs.

It was a learning curve but we got through it. I like it so much that I would get one. I'm just waiting to see if that Surface phone arrives and if not, I'll switch to a Samsung device.

Thanks for your reply. I agree, if MS does not come out with a device soon I will have to make the change. I appreciate your post regarding options.

Surface Phone??  Haven't heard of that before.  Maybe there's hope?
