They were trying to reduce a latency and accidentally made it negative.

"negative latency". That's a Jobs worthy dodge right there.

Ha! Facetime is now a non-causal filter.

latency of local hardware is much lower then cellphone/internet latency... so even if you bring local hardware latency to 0, you still have major network lag... I know you are kidding but this is ridiculous

They supposedly have these chips that make your phone much more secure and they can't get stupid stuff like this right? LOL ... GO APPLE. My trust level was already close to zero before this...

Latency between answering the call and being able to actually talk to the person on the other end.

right... the network creates the latency, not the time it takes to turn on a microphone (which is instant when compared to network latency)
