If you are an iPhone fan, you might have a set of your own favorite applications and features that make you return. Between Apple fans and those who like Android devices, there are durable disputes with relatively small overlapping. In short, once you find your favorite camp, you tend to attach it not only because of the performance or telephone ability, but more because of brand loyalty. But if you ask yourself what is the best thing about iPhone, what will you say? We ask our readers and collect some interesting results.

People might think that considering how hard this argument can sometimes be obtained, iOS smartphones may have a much larger market share than Android, but that doesn’t happen at all. According to Statcounter, Android held a market share of cellular operating systems worldwide by 71.85% in July 2022. Apple iOS rang only 27.5% during this same period. Each other cellular operating system has a market share below 0%. Adjusting the parameters to see results in North America alone, Android has 47.24% shares in July 2022, while iOS has a share of 52.41%.

Even if Android dominates with numbers, iPhone users, of course, find things to like the device, and that cannot be replaced by Android. While the top features chosen by 52% of amazing respondents as their favorite are available on Android, it is still seen as a staple iOS.

Staying in touch is what matters the most

We ask our readers about the best features of the iPhone, and based on 621 responses from users in the United States, we can now understand the winners. Facetime was won by a landslide with 52.17% of respondents who chose them as their favorite iPhone features.

Airplay ranks second with 17.23%, followed by a battery health check with 12.40%. The offloading application is the second most popular option at 9.82%, and finally, drag and drop entered at 8.37%. As you can see, none of this function (quite useful) even approaches to defeating Facetime.

Facetime is an Apple video and ecosystem chat application, available on the iPhone, Mac, and iPad devices. Android and Windows users can join FaceTime calls only if specifically invited by someone with the latest version of one of the Apple operating systems, and even the 3rd party connectivity level is a pretty new development. For a long time, Facetime was reserved only for Apple users, but with the emergence of competitors such as zoom and sustainable competition from established video chat brands such as Skype, Apple finally began to let non-apple viewers see a glimpse of the experience.

The importance of face to face communication

At the top of Pandemi Covid-19, applications like Facetime work to make people connect even when they are forced to stay separate. This type of software helps many of us regain a sense of closeness that cannot be given by simple phone calls. Facetime, in addition to other popular applications, is even used to help families talk to patients who cannot visit the person they love at the hospital during quarantine.

In a study by researchers from the Faculty of Medicine, Pittsburgh University and published by Annals of American Thoracic Society, it was shown that their patients, families, and medical professionals were equally found to use video calls that were rather effective in this situation. Facetime’s popularity can be seen as a sign of the times, and the fact that it is chosen as the most popular iPhone feature of all talking volumes about the importance of people who are placed in face -to -face communication, especially at stress.
