I've received quite a few emails asking how I make my videos, if you're interested in learning about it in a detailed course let me know here: tinyurl.com/4sfh9cx2
@@ddylan4catsyes an android user can join a facetime call... But the experience is pretty terrible, and honestly one of the reasons is to make android users envious of how good facetime is on iPhones
you didn’t mention that on iOS 15/ MacOS 12 they added FaceTime links that you can use in a browser. It’s still technically exclusive to apple devices since it’s not installed but at least you can use it on android now
I hate Patent Trolls with a passion. They legitimately make society worse.

They should be forced to cease operations but well, I suppose the responsible government just wanted to help scam Apple. The law system in the US doesn‘t seem to be up to modern standards as in no way, 330m$ in damages could have been caused by some wrong P2P implementation. Aren‘t those who claim damaged obliged to prove them in the US? In Germany they certainly are.
@@DavidKen878 why? There is a difference between patent trolls abusing potentially corrupt law systems like the US one and legitimate patent holders like Sony or Fraunhofer _which actually have entire research teams dedicated_ and therefore have the legitimation to license their tech and patent trolls which can, with the help of a underdeveloped country, just file for damages which haven‘t been caused.
its only patented because they knew that since it was the cheapest and most simplest way to make video calling applications, many companies would make code that was very similar to their patented product, and therefore, they would sue them for millions
It's beyond my imagination how a person can choose one OS over the other because of a messaging app 😄 You may have a plethora of various communicators on Android, including the likes of Duo, which do video calling. But the blue bubbles vs green bubbles I guess...
Well here in the North America we use SMS due to how our cellular network is set up (beneficial for rural areas) so third party apps aren’t really a thing. If this was anywhere else then yeah I can see that. However I would say FaceTime just looks better overall, I used Duo when I lived overseas, it wasn’t the best quality compared to FaceTime, but that might not be a priority for some people.
i really dont get why apple users care so much about the colour of a text bubble, like will they die if they look at the colour green? theyre so overdramatic over nothing
Learned some new parts of the story here, thanks. Recently we were at universal studios in Florida and a family member was having a medical emergency and we needed to video call, the family member has an iPhone, but all of their relatives with our party had Android, they video called and phone called via telegram, Facebook and some other third party Android app, all would fail during a hard thunderstorm in Orlando. Just kept disconnecting and choppy audio and no exist video finally the person had the wherewithal to ask if friends could ask if anyone in our group had an iPhone. I do and they gave me their number, they talked on FaceTime for 2.5 hours with crystal clear audio and video, and happy to say, it was a good day and no one died, but they almost did and heart felt would-be final moments came across face to face. I’ve never given much credence to the difference between iOS and Android, I just like iOS. But I’ll be damned if I’ll ever switch now.
The tech support bit in me tells me it's likely they had a phone with either worst reception/reception issues, a phone provider using different bands (if their towers aren't as close or are down, it could lead to issues) or some kind of mobile data issues (since all of these use mobile data and aren't as basic as a phone call. Just my two cents though :)
I’ve always been an iPhone user due to my blindness. I find that the Disability features on the Eye device products to be really good. And I often like FaceTime audio calls to call my friends because the call quality is just so much better than a regular phone call. I do use WhatsApp a lot, though to communicate with my Apple and android friends. Read the comment about the family, having an emergency in Florida and they had to scramble to find somebody with an iPhone. I thought that story was very interesting.
@@DavidKen878 the idea for patenting and copyrighting was people would be afraid to create and innovate because someone else could steal their idea. You'd be afraid to invest in resources and development because you'd be afraid that you'd never see a return on your investment because anyone else could simply steal your ideas and years of hard work. A patent gives you exclusive rights to your ideas and inventions for a limited time, giving you enough time to sell your idea and make a return on investment without your competition profiting off your research and innovation for free. But that's been flipped on it's head and some companies now patent ideas or inventions they'll never implement. Once someone comes along and figures out how to implement the idea the patent holder will claim they came up with the idea first and demand a large payout for the right to implement the idea. Even if the exact way in which the idea is implemented is different than the original patent, if the patent holder can convince a bunch of judges with absolutely no technical expertise it's the same thing they could still win the lawsuit. That's how we end up with ridiculous law suits like Fortnite claiming they own the rights to battle royals or music companies claiming they own the right to music notes. This has the opposite effect of discouraging innovation by making it expensive and legally treacherous. The idea of patents is fine but the way it is enforced is ridiculous.
I’ve never used FaceTime before lol. There are just so many options now, in Australia I feel like no one really uses imessage with their friends, usually Facebook messenger, Instagram or Snapchat, all with video call features. I live in Japan and obviously LINE is the biggest messaging app here, the video call has different features like face filters and video filters too, which is cool
I’d like to point out that technically you can access FaceTime on Windows and Android devices through the chrome or edge browser. Apple’s support website even explains how.
Thanks for the explanation! I have wondered about this, but always just thought it was the usual Apple way of doing things. I love my Macs, but I am not an iPhone user.
You are missing out on so much customization and actual "New Features" that android implements these days and not the one iOS gets which Android had for years @@DavidKen878.
Damn... I've only ever used FaceTime twice, because I live in SA, on one hand I'm kinda sad that I'm unable to fully use this phone, but on the other hand, I'm glad that I don't need an iPhone to Video call other people, because that sound like a lot, considering how very few people I know own iPhones. Moving back to Android next year, IOS has been interesting
It also forcing people to buy iPhone which is why iMessage is only on iPhone. Apple will not cave to google and make iMessage universal. Tim Cook even said in an interview “buy an iPhone “
Lmao. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything. iMessage is an Apple only feature. I don't know why you all act as if it must be made available on other operating systems.
@@DavidKen878 apple makes their hardware and software proprietary as a tactic to get people to buy Apple products. If they made iMessage universal, there would be no reason to buy and iPhone or switch to phone. Same thing with FaceTime. You want the platform well buy or switch to iPhone. If you want this you have to buy and iPhone. You can’t get it on Android. Is my point
Because “professional” phone users don’t need outdated hardware. Only the best. This is not important for a regular consumer who may not want to spend a lot of money for a phone and isn’t bothered by the phone being an older model
@@donkekung4150 Take good photos / videos or play resource intensive games. Basically for photographers, gamers, and Apple fanboys. That’s what I understand at least
And Google has their own app, Google Meet, which also works on Apple devices. And of course there's also Skype or Microsoft Teams or even Zoom. Apple is really losing out by not making Facetime available cross platform, since all the others are.
Not really. Because like the video said. People choose to buy apple products because it’s the only way to use FaceTime. They’re making big money from that fact.
@@Narutocoolcat They said that, but it's just an opinion. They didn't provide any evidence. I know several people who own Apple products, including myself and my father, who never use Facetime. My father has an iPhone and I use my iPad constantly. I'm posting this on it. Neither of us use Facetime.
Hey Apple explained can you please do a video on why the iPhone 15 has a back that can be broken easily and why it gets overheated when you don’t use a Apple charger
Answer to ur question: it breaks easily because theres nothing behind the backglass to support it and it gets overheated on any charger most likely because of the USB c or as apple said an Instagram bug
15 Year Android user and i switched to a Pro max 15 this year and its been great. Facetime is probably the best app ive ever used. AUDIO and VIDEO quality is beyond aynthing ive ever seen.
Audio call and video call are good names. Face time sounds like a name for kids. A 5 year old kid is not eating his medicines so mommy says, come on baby, you know what time it is, it's face time! Like seriously! Nobody thought that was an embarrassing name for a product that was for adults.
It may be true un US, but here in India, the most popular video call app is WhatsApp. Many of my friemds are using iPhones, but I have never seen anybody is using face time. iPhone to iPhone video call is also using WhatsApp.
Problem is that in the US people are too lazy to use other more standard clients like WhatsApp so they use the default app which won't work well with other brands.
That funny Google burn about pagers shows that Google doesn't seem to know pagers are still manufactured & sold to different fields, including medical.
@@doboy930 my friend you are made so dumb by apple marketing screwing you over and over that you don't realize interoperability is a customer friendly feature while closed systems are limitations CONTRARY to the interest of consumers...
Apple just don’t want to lose its customers to android. If you combine apple facetime & android customization, I guarantee apple users will start switching to android.
Fact. Today every every smartphone is good. The only difference is that Apple wants to keep everything close to not let iPhone users experience other platform. They do this in their os and their live events
Yep, they know and they’ve admitted it. During the Apple vs Epic lawsuit an Apple exec openly said that the only reason they keep IMessage and FaceTime exclusive to Apple is because they know if it ever became open source they would lose their customers.
There is FaceTime Links available for Android through the browser. But you need the link which can only be created by an iPhone user you wanna talk with.
@@kingjaydenmedley2004 in simple terms, Apple stole the technology that another company owned for FaceTime, so they were sued

Patent trolls and perhaps the responsible judges got bribed because in Europe, damages caused have to be proven and there‘s no way this whole thing caused 330 million dollars in damages.
Make a video, why we droid users cant have a unified system like airdrop? its the biggest shame in the history of phones, that two android user cant really share data, images or other things EASILY with each other. :(
