Only the person you want to talk with at that moment needs to be on an Apple device.
For example, my wife and I both have iPhones, so we use FaceTime because it’s easier. My niece doesn’t, so we use Skype.
Just because you personally aren’t using it, doesn’t mean it’s “dead”.
- gsich 8y agoIt's dead. If Email would only work between the same vendor, I would call it dead too. So dead means technologically dead. I would not recommend anyone using it. It doesn't allow cross vendor communication.
- gsich 8y agoLove the downvotes from Apple fan(atics). It means that the truth stings.
- skrowl 8y agoThey love their walled garden. When you point out > 80% of new devices sold are Android and can't use FaceTime, they don't care and just downvote without comment.
- blowski 8y agoHN in general frowns upon flamewar topics. Making comments like “FaceTime is dead” with no data to back it up, and “it’s only iPhone fanatics downvoting me” doesn’t contribute to a meaningful discussion. That’s why it’s being downvoted.
- gsich 8y agoAlthough I haven't said your quotes directly, it's still the truth. Making the same comment about Skype wouldn't have resulted in downvotes. This is probably because although Android devices are more common in general terms, here it is more likely to be 50/50. Hence the downvotes from Apple fan(atics).
