Why Can't iPhone Duo Users Make Eye Contact on FaceTime?
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- The iPhone Duo lacks the FaceTime Eye Contact setting, which was first noted by a MacRumors forum member who observed their eyes appearing "a little off" during calls.
- Eye Contact, introduced in iOS 14, uses machine learning to adjust users' eyes during video calls to simulate looking directly into the camera, enhancing the sense of eye contact.
- The absence of Eye Contact on the Duo is unlikely due to the lack of Face ID or TrueDepth camera, as iPhone SE models with Touch ID still support the feature.
- The unique placement of the Duo's under-display camera on the inner right side and the device's folding design likely complicate the implementation of Eye Contact, as the camera's position relative to the user's gaze changes with the device's state.
- Apple has been contacted for a technical explanation regarding the missing Eye Contact feature on the iPhone Duo.
