The Best Feature Of iPhones, According To 52% Of People Polled

We asked our readers about the best features of the iPhone, and based on 621 responses from users in the United States, we can now crown the winner. FaceTime won by a landslide with a whopping 52.17% of respondents who chose it as their favorite iPhone feature. 

AirPlay comes in second with 17.23%, followed by battery health check with 12.40%. Offloading apps was the second least-popular option at 9.82%, and lastly, drag and drop came in at 8.37%. As you can see, not one of these (quite handy) functionalities even came close to beating FaceTime.

FaceTime is Apple’s proprietary video chatting app and ecosystem, available on 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 Apple’s operating systems, and even that level of 3rd-party connectivity is a quite recent development. For a long time, FaceTime was reserved strictly for Apple users, but with the rise of competitors like Zoom and sustained competition from established video chat brands like Skype, Apple finally started to let non-Apple viewers get a glimpse of the experience.
