      Apple could have done this in 2017 but doing now. This company always makes a fool of its users. Slowing down earlier phones and forcing customers to upgrade. Whereas companies like Oneplus make their 3-year-old phones faster with updates

            Can’t one of these bleeding articles go without having its comments section degrade into that pointless old android vs iOS nonsense.

            What in the the hell does Apple upping the face time res have to do with Android????

                  Good to know ios is 6 big updates behind minimum

                  Like people say Android 11 is like IOS 17 or IOS 18 Apple users need 5 years of updates to even catch up to Android features like IOS 14 and their features proved

                      As per the Apple site, all the phones with 7mp got the 1080p facetime update. Any phones with lower than 7mp are still at 720p. Which makes the details as , the iphone 7 and later got the 1080p facetime update and not just iphone8 and later. Please make corrections to article

                        AnonD-804996, 03 Dec 2020Because you totally need 4K on a shitty 5 inch display...It's not the screen, it's the resolution, 1080p streaming from FaceTime will look much shaper than 720p with poor detail levels.

                        FaceTime is also used on other Apple devices.
                        Your limited 720p in FaceTime would look terrible when viewed on an iPad Pro (for example) on the other end.
