Survey: 34% Of AT&T’s iPhone Customers Waiting For Another iPhone Carrier To Upgrade

In the past few quarters, AT&T has seen a significant chunk of its revenues come from the sale of iPhones in the US. Though the company’s CEO Ralph de la Vega has insisted that an end to iPhone exclusivity is not a big deal and that the company would continue to grow even if it loses its exclusive partnership with Apple, industry observers have pointed out that the carrier indeed has a lot to lose. Backing up these claims is a recent study conducted by market research firm, Morpace. In their survey of over 1000 consumers, the researchers found that nearly half of the current lot of iPhone users would consider to migrate to Verizon if such an option was made available. The survey also found that nearly 34% of current AT&T iPhone users were holding back on an iPhone upgrade in order to migrate to another carrier when the AT&T exclusivity ends.

FaceTime Tricks:Camera ToggleThis is something you may have already come across if you regularly use FaceTime. Nevertheless, it is too important a feature to miss.

To do this, you simply have to tap on the camera-rotation icon on your FaceTime screen to toggle between the two cameras. Mute Audio/Video On FaceTimeThere are times when you may need to mute just the video or audio while a video calling session is on. The audio-mute option is pretty straightforward. Users need to tap on the microphone icon on the application screen to mute the audio. To mute the video instead, simply move away from the FaceTime screen to any other program or just press the Home button. This will display a blank screen on the other end even though the FaceTime session is still on and the person at the other end can hear you.VoiceOver For iBooksIt is possible to turn your iBooks into audiobooks that will read out the passages for you. To get started, you will first need to enable the VoiceOver function by navigating to Settings -> General -> Accessibility and enabling VoiceOver.
