If you were hoping to upgrade your Lumia handset to Windows 10 Mobile this month as promised, hard luck. Microsoft has admitted that the OS update won’t be ready until early 2016.

In a statement, Microsoft explained to ZDNet:

“This November we introduced Windows 10 to phones including brand new features such as Continuum and Universal Windows Apps with the introduction of the Lumia 950 and 950 XL. The Windows 10 Mobile upgrade will begin rolling out early next year to select existing Windows 8 and 8.1 phones.”

It’s also still unclear which handsets will get the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile.

The operating system already features on new devices, including the Lumia 950. Microsoft’s plan is to regularly update the mobile OS—but clearly it’s not quite managing to keep pace this time round.
