There's still HoloLens, Surface Hub, XBox, and IoT Core and Enterprise.

My employer writes UWP apps for itself, because we have all of these devices (even XBox) and write UWP apps for them all (because with the exception of IoT Enterprise, they're all UWP-only.)

IoT Mobile is still a SKU that Microsoft sell, by the way. Guess what IoT Mobile is? It's Windows Mobile.

It isn't dead, it's just not getting new features. It'll be replaced by OneCore in the not too distant future, I imagine.

UWP is getting new features all the time, it's the way forward for Windows apps and will stay for many years to come. Even all the default Windows 10 apps and stuff like settings UI are UWP.

OneCore is an internal Windows refactor that won't affect users nor developers.
