Speaking of FaceTime, we can trace it back to the WWDC conference in 2010, when Apple brought us an eye-catching FaceTime. Apple has always wanted to interpret future video calls in a simple and easy way, and FaceTime is Apple's answer. It is simple, convenient and free. Users can simply hold a mobile phone instead of a heavy computer, lie freely on the sofa, and even have a video conversation with our relatives, friends or loved ones in an extremely romantic environment.

Of course, Jobs also hoped that FaceTime would become more open. Jobs said during the FaceTime presentation at the time that Apple was trying to make FaceTime an open standard that would give other companies the opportunity to use FaceTime.

There is no doubt that FaceTime is a great tool, and it is also a very good technology, but unfortunately, it is still a step away from a truly revolutionary product, and analysts believe that the reason why it is impossible to overcome this step is that Apple did not open up FaceTime.

At this year's WWDC 2016, we heard that Apple wants to open up to more third-party developers, and we hear more and more that Apple finally intends to let Siri grow further, but we haven't heard anything about FaceTime, which was born six years ago.

There is no doubt that opening up FaceTime, concentrating more open source and licensed technologies on FaceTime, and then releasing code and licenses to allow more third-party developers to participate is definitely a good thing for FaceTime. Moreover, if Apple lets more third-party developers know that it is trying to meet their requirements for open FaceTime, it is obviously good for Apple to improve its public relations reputation, while some of the larger technology companies Of course, you will also be interested in designing applications and devices related to FaceTime.

In fact, some analysts have mentioned that Skype has worked for so many years and has not achieved the ideal state for video calls on mobile phones, and Apple initially thought that FaceTime would be a huge success, making it an open standard that could crack down on Skype and other video calling technology, but for six years, these beautiful visions have not happened for FaceTime. Now that Apple is becoming more and more tolerant of third-party developers, is there another opportunity for Facetime to open up?

FaceTime is really good, and many friends hope that Apple will not miss a good opportunity to improve it.
