Like most of Apple&#8217;s patented ideas, this one may not ever make it to an actual device. However, it raises an interesting question: what would you share with callers you placed on hold?<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Feasyonhold.com%2Fblog%2Fwhat-would-you-share-with-callers-on-hold%2F&amp;linkname=Apple%20Patents%20iPhone%20On%20Hold%20Music%20Sharing%20Feature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Share\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/buttons\/share_save_256_24.png\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The fact that Apple is addressing &#8220;hold time&#8221;, even though most iPhone owners are using the phone for personal purposes rather than a business, shines a big spotlight on the general public&#8217;s attitude toward being placed on hold. Yet many businesses continue to leave callers in silence, or connected to a noisy radio station or sleepy &#8220;default&#8221; music tracks.<\/p>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1236\" alt=\"iPhone On Hold Patent\" src=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/iPhone-On-Hold-Patent-300x279.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/iPhone-On-Hold-Patent-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/iPhone-On-Hold-Patent-321x300.jpg 321w, https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/iPhone-On-Hold-Patent.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\n<p>Theoretically, a future iPhone would allow you to let a caller on hold take a look at your photo collection, or hear a particular song. Would you treat the hold time like a visit to your Facebook page? A caller could check out your vacation photos or that shot of you at the Springsteen concert. You could even recommend your list of best live concert recordings of all time.<\/p>\n<p>If you used your iPhone for business, you could show your latest innovation or a screen capture of your sweet customer interface design on your website. For a company with an image to protect and customers to satisfy, on hold time is indeed a golden opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>For now, you can integrate a custom message and <a title=\"Easy On Hold custom message and music on hold production plan\" href=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/music-on-hold\/messages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">music on hold audio production<\/a> that paints a picture in your caller&#8217;s mind. You have a story to tell and an image to maintain. The right message on hold production company will take your company&#8217;s personality into consideration and create a caller experience that goes far beyond the traditional phone-on-hold &#8220;thank you&#8221; messages.<\/p>\n<p>Apple does not discuss the problems with image and <a title=\"Learn about music on hold copyright protection issues\" href=\"https:\/\/easyonhold.com\/learn\/on-hold-music-licensing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"blc-broken-link\" data-blc-broken=\"1\">music copyright protections<\/a>, which could conceivably be a problem for businesses who share photos and music, but it appears that the idea behind the iPhone on-hold sharing concept is intended for personal use only.
