iOS 26 Beta is Hiding a New Ringtone — Here's What It Sounds Like

[Mike Wolf]

Excellent melody. Reminds me of the 90’s for some reason. I hope this doesn’t become a hardware exclusive so we’ll get to use it in September on updated devices.

You will need Apple Intelligence for this one. No older devices supported.

It has to be a record, we're on page two and no one has called for Tim to go, and that Steve would never have allowed this !

Not much to say except 🤢

I, too, mute my phone and get calls haptically on my wrist as well but I have to say, this is the first new ringtone in a long time that sounds different and safe enough to get widely used.

Sounds like a Billboard Dance Club hit!

Is it me or does everyone has his iPhone on silent? I don't do that but I notice everyone I know is doing that.

I turn off silent when home. I don't carry my phone around with me and I take off my watch.

Thought it was animusic’s pipe dreams.

What’s a ringtone?

It’s what you hear when you have tinnitus.

I'll stay with the quacking duck tone I've been using for years.

Why can’t all ringtones be that soothing and not abrasive as many of them are.

 

[klasma]

Ringtones with a catchy melody make no sense to me, because then I want to sing along instead of stopping them short by taking the call.

Why can’t all ringtones be that soothing and not abrasive as many of them are.

Because you’re not supposed to sleep through them.

Because you’re not supposed to sleep through them.

I’m a light sleeper. I don’t sleep through alarms. Would like a soothing ringtone was my point.

Ok, but you asked for all ringtones to be soothing.

 

[Flexx93]

Is it just me getting „Mr. Vain“ vibes?

I didn’t word the post correctly. I was attempting to say I find most of the ringtones abrasive and wish there were some additional more soothing ringtones..

This is quite impressive.

You can install it with homebrew.

I listened to one link, then followed with hate second then started to overlap the melodies...that was me at my desk.

this is a good ringtone and I will probably only hear it when I accidentally flip the Silent switch.

All ringtones are abrasive once you've heard them enough.

It's not the fault of the ringtone. It's just the nature of what a ringtone is. I discovered that years ago, and stopped using music I like for ringtones.

But if you really want to try, you can put any sound through the GarageBand process to convert it.

And yeah, these days I'm like most people and leave it on silent almost all the time.

Tim needs to go, Steve would never have allowed this.

 

[segfaultdotorg]

Meh. If they really wanted to be innovative, they'd bring back the Cingular ringtone!

What is a ringtone for?

So that you know when someone you don't want to talk to is trying to call you.
