Face Time

Apple’s video-chat is frozen in time; surely we should have group chat by now?

FaceTime is incredibly easy to use, assuming you want to talk to someone else who has a piece of Apple kit that’s equipped with a suitable camera. Where it falls down really badly is if you want to talk to two or more people at once, and they don’t all happen to be in the same room. (Even if they are, things get a bit cosy.) Skype has group video calling, entirely for free, and Google Hangouts can do something similar. It’s time Apple caught up and made FaceTime a bit more magical.
