It's happening. Microsoft is finally broadly rolling out a firmware update to the Lumia 950 and 950 XL that will enable double tap to wake.
Rumors of the feature have been around for months, probably since the devices were first released. Last week, Lumia 950 XL users in select regions reported getting the firmware update, but there hasn't been any official word since then.
Here's the official changelog:
Wi-Fi connectivity improvements, including fixes for Wi-Fi connection dropping randomly and Wi-Fi scan occasionally not returning any results.
Support for double tap to wake enabled.
Bluetooth connectivity improvements.
Stability and reliability improvements.
Camera improvements, including improved image and video quality, improved Auto-focus and fix for a problem that was causing slow motion capture to skip frames for some users.
Cellular connectivity improvements, including fix for a problem that caused occasional network loss for some users.
Audio quality improvements, including fix for a problem that caused voice call audio to get scrambled for some users.
Of course, Microsoft notes that availability of the update will depend on your region and carrier. In other words, you probably shouldn't expect to see it on your AT&T Lumia 950 right away (we checked and didn't find an update).
The "first batch of phones" should receive an OTA update today, with the rest of them receiving it gradually. While the page hasn't been updated yet, you can check out Microsoft's firmware update status page to see if your device is listed.
