Depends on which market you are talking about. It is increasing in some.

If your an app developer or hardware vendor, why would you even bother?
Bunch of articles popped up over the last day or so on how MS is changing direction on Windows Phone not purely based on speculation due to declining market.
Best thing they can do IMO - I really want to see a decent Surface (x86 backend) phone - hopefully by which time they'll have seen sense over some of the Windows Update stuff as that would be truly hilarious on a phone type device never mind how badly thought out it is in a tablet environment.
That still doesn't make it dead.
You've been saying it's dead for 3+ years, that in itself should tell you something. MA have a lot of money to support it and it is vital to theory vision.
Maybe because windows tablets are doing very well, and they need apps on them.
I suppose that depends on your definition of an OS being dead. You're clearly going to cling on until it literally doesn't exist any more, while most people will consider the current situation of tiny market share, zero sign of further adoption by hardware vendors or app developers, and its complete insignificance in the smartphone space as being enough to deem it "dead".
Its barely above Symbian.
Tablets are not phones and do not run Windows Phone.
Rofl, did you miss the there's more OEMs this year than at anytime in it's history, that hardly sounds like it's dead.
Phone OEMs? Who?
They all run w10 under the hood...
There's a whole list announced, a lot of Chinese ones, including the largest Chinese mobile manufacturer.
So does my PC? Are you going to claim Windows Phone is healthy and well because they have sold loads of Windows 10 desktops?
Were talking about phones, sub 7" (I think, according to Microsofts definition) touch screen devices that you carry in your pocket that run the 'Phone' branded fork of Windows 10 and solely use the Phone GIU with no Desktop mode, on non x86 hardware.
No, and that was not the point I was making, what has non x86 got to do with it, you are aware of universal apps? That w10makes it a hell of a lot easier than w8 and Redstone in the summer will improve it even more.
That they've released the ios tools.
Got a link?
No it's not going to suddenly solve it over night, but the biggest issue with wp is apps, and tablet market doing well should help that, as well as w10 in general.I said that if you were a hardware vendor, why would you bother with Windows Phone as its in a pretty stagnant place with tiny market share.
Your response was that the tablet market is doing well. Thats true, it is, but thats not going to suddenly make millions of people switch from their Android/iOS phones to Windows ones based on there being some great ~10" tablets out there.
Tablets and phones are very different devices that server very different purposes. Therefores obviously crossover, but success in one markket doesn't mean success in the other.
For Windows Phone to be saved, there needs to be improvements in the Windows Phone space, not just in the overall Windows 10 arena.
So you think more vendors making devices with the OS will make it more successful?
