Microsoft developer evangelist Nuno Silva has retracted comments from an interview earlier this week, in which he claimed that every Windows Phone sold to date should be getting the upgrade to the next “major version of Windows Phone,” contradicting our sources on the matter.

We’ll be sure to let you know if anything changes with Microsoft’s plans for Apollo.
