    Today we’re going to explore the history of FaceTime. Because although Apple’s video chatting service is simple and straightforward, it has quite a complicated and dramatic history that I’ve never really seen discussed in great detail. So that’s exactly what we’ll do in this video. Now FaceTime has become a quintessential part of Apple’s ecosystem, it seamlessly works between iOS and MacOS, and for many people it’s hard to imagine living without. But FaceTime wasn’t even around until the iPhone 4, which means the service is just 8 years old, and only recently adopted features that many users wanted years ago, like group video chats. But let’s start from the beginning, before FaceTime was even revealed to the public, and follow its development to the present day.
    Special thanks to Awake for sponsoring this video!

    This video was re-uploaded due to a UA-cam view bug that effected the video initially, so I took it down and re-uploaded after the issue was solved. I apologize for any inconveniences! P.S. I'm currently working on a new editing style that I think you all will really enjoy. It's a lot more time consuming but I think it'll help take my videos to the next level. You'll get to see it in my next video Why The Notch Has Become So Popular, hope you enjoy!

      People have to use iMessage if they are gonna message someone but then again they can download other messaging apps. And some people don't have Apple products to use those kind of apps. You need to understand that most people use Android or Verison or anything! Or they have no use to use iMessage and Facetime. People like you have to understand that.

    With face time it really does sound like you’re there with them. Neat.

    I think Apple should’ve made a service called FaceTime plus where if there’s an android user who’s interested in FaceTime or PC user they can download the app but they have to pay at least five dollars a month to use the service that’s if they want to use it over Wi-Fi if they want to go cellular Apple can have the carrier charge them five dollars extra to use FaceTime over cellular

      That's impossible. You can't just take someones hard work just because you want it. Copyright is there to give the creators the money they deserve.

    Apple wants to put new features on their existing devices, unfortunately due to these very bureaucratic laws, Apple has to conform. Very infuriating.
    This makes me wonder, was the Sarbanes-Oxley Act the reason why Apple didn't let the 1st Gen iPad Mini to download the iLife and iWork apps for free even though Apple made it for free after iOS 7?
    I was able to download the apps for free by logging-in into a friend's iPad Mini 2.
    AT&T is somewhat a twat by blocking FaceTime.
