Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update rollout won't begin August 9, Microsoft confirms

In the last few days, there have been at-least a couple of reports suggesting that the Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update will start rolling out on August 9. However, Microsoft - specifically, the head of the Windows Insider Program Dona Sarkar - has now confirmed that won't be the case.

For those who missed, the reports in question had suggested an August 9 roll out for unlocked Lumias and other Win10 devices, and an August 16 roll out for carrier branded handsets. Microsoft, on its part, is yet to officially confirm an exact roll out date for the update.
