San Francisco, December 4 (IANS): Apple has added support for highly demanded 1080p FaceTime calls with the new iOS 14.2 update. The new resolution for video calls is compatible with iPhone 8 and newer models, including the iPhone 12 series.
Discovered by MacMagazine, Apple quietly updated the spec pages for devices like iPhone XR shortly after the release of iOS 14.2.
“Before launch, Apple did not include FaceTime HD (1080p) video calling on its iPhone XR pages, but made the addition the week after the debut of iOS 14.2,” the report mentions.
Last month Apple released iOS 14.2 and announced with it a host of new features for iPhones, but it didn’t mention adding support for 1080p FaceTime calls on iPhone 8 and later devices.
FaceTime calls will work with 1080p resolution on iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max.
While this is good news for iPhone users, Apple is not making 1080p FaceTime calling widely available. This means that the 1080p resolution will work only on Wi-Fi networks and must be available at both ends.
The only advantage of the iPhone 12 lineup when it comes to FaceTime HD is the support for resolution over both Wi-Fi and 5G.
