About a month ago, Apple released iOS 14.2 to the general public with a plethora of new additions. While it was a major update with several bug fixes and performance enhancements, the company did not mention anywhere that it is also adding support for 1080p FaceTime calls on iPhone 8 and all newer models. Henceforth, Apple upgraded the call quality silently.

It has been a month since the update was released to the general public and it was discovered recently by MacMagazine. It was found that Apple silently updated the specification pages for older devices like the iPhone XR shortly after iOS 14.2 was released. Regardless, 1080p FaceTime calls is a pretty neat little upgrade.
