Thank you!
I was thinking this, but needed someone else to confirm
yep, only exception being the defaults “Note”, “Chord” and “Reflection” which are all still on the front page.
All of the other 2007-2013 tones are in the “Classic” folder.
Why? There's not a single compelling reason not to upgrade ancient SMS to RCS. Imagine not wanting newer, better technology you could use to communicate better with everyone regardless of their phone choice. You're just being spiteful at this point.
No article about the release of iOS 16.7 and WatchOS 9.6.2? I even did a site search and didn't find articles.
Some did. While others, like me, converted midi files. Worked perfectly for years, Mine was the UW Cowgirl acid line.
The ringtone I use on my 12 Pro is the Nokia Guitar Tone, and for email, text, and calendar notifications I use BlackBerry tones (GungHo, Link, ChiGong, etc.) because they're short and unobtrusive. MIDI files converted using a third-party converter.
Here's a genius idea: Apple refuses to give us the ability to change the volume of alerts and ring tones separately. My wife complains about my alarm waking her up (too loud) as well as me missing her calls because of a low volume ring tone (too quiet). Since Apple is unable to fix this (idiots), then perhaps they could at least give us two different volume options for every ring tone!

I hope so because I do the same thing. I know who is calling based on their ringtone.
Yup. I only use the mute switch when I’m preparing my delivery route for work. Once I’m out the office i immediately switch back to hearing sounds and ringtones.
Love that we’re getting new ringtones but they’re not that good compared to the previous ones. I liked Tease and the change in Reflection.
What I’m really pissed off about is constantly missing notifications since the RC because you can’t change the default notification ring tone and the new one is really, really quiet and short and ends off with a deep sound that’s barely audible from a distance. I’m more likely to hear the vibration than the sound. They should either give us the option to change the default one or revert, as some of us like hearing our notifications from farther away. I mean that’s the whole point of the sounds if your iPhone is not on you so you feel the vibration. I don’t think this will ship like this and if it does, a lot of people will be mad. Default notification tone should end off with a higher and perhaps longer note as it did previously. This is why Samsung’s cringey “Whistle” draws so much attention, as it should.

It’s bugging me but does anyone else feel like they’ve heard the Unfold ringtone in some drama series somewhere?
Mute all day, every day. Except for my parents & sister - I set them for “emergency bypass” in the event there is an emergency in the middle of the night. Like the time my dad was taken to hospital around 1am or so. I wanna be alerted for things like that. What’s nice is that even my parents prefer to text than call, so having the phone actually ring when one of them call me is a great peace of mind, especially now that they are approaching their 70’s.
At least they haven't got rid of them like they have with so many wallpapers over the years.
It’s 2023, who actually using the ringer on their phone under the age of 70?
I don’t know anyone with a ringer activated on their phone.

They don’t seem to be compatible anymore… they’re still there to be used as ringtones only
