    The Little Notch at the Top

    Is it just me or does anyone else like the notch at the top of the screen where the FaceTime Camera, sensors etc reside? I think it gives the IPhone X a unique look. Also the alternative would be to have a straight bezel at the top which I think would be more ugly and you would also lose the...

    No voice on a FaceTime call

    Hi, I used to talk to my dad (which lives in another country) via FaceTime. I use an iPhone 6s Plus, he was using the old iPhone 4 I gave him. That's the unique purpose of that iPhone, since my dad is a newbie in anything around technology. He learned how to make and receive calls, that's all...

    FaceTime is very buggy once again

    I’m a long time FaceTime user. I use it everyday since 2010. It looks like a very simple app that just makes video or audio calls. It doesn’t have any settings. Nothing to configure. It “Just Works”. I agree. But Apple somehow manages to break it in someways and make it buggy with every single...
