During the entire confinement Apple with FaceTime and other applications to make video calls noticed a really brutal increase in users. It is true that many companies opted for the "controversial" Zoom application or similar ones, but FaceTime also noticed a notable increase in this time.
For the Christmas holidays, of course, this type of video call also had to be made since social distance was still (and still) necessary, so Tim Cook explained at the financial results conference that FaceTime usage beat all records previously achieved during the holiday period.
If you have an iPhone, iPad or Mac use FaceTime
Video calls with FaceTime are really safe, fluid, with excellent sound and video quality, but the main problem is that you need to have an iPhone, an iPad or a Mac to do them and many users see that their relatives do not have them. This, which is logically a problem, is solved directly using other similar services or applications.
Calls through FaceTime saw an increase in users during these months and the option to make video calls was partly increased during the last week of the quarter thanks to the activations of new iPhones and Macs, which according to Cook achieved another record number of activations. There is no specific data on these activations and the number of calls made by its users is not specified in figures. with FaceTime, but what is clear is that the increase in teleworking, added to the confinement, makes this type of tool extremely useful.
