“With the sixth beta of iOS 26, Apple has added several new ringtones that are alternatives to the classic "Reflection" ringtone.”
Wow! How exciting!
“Can't innovate, my %#*!”
(A shopworn cliché, I know, but worth bringing back at least one more time…)
Hope they bring out ringtones that mirror Liquid Glass!

I havent heard my phone ring in a decade lol, People still use ringtones? LOL
For the ones who don't leave the phone in Silent Mode, having more options is good. Nothing worse than hearing the ringtone, just to realize it is not your phone ringing.
Getting calls and ringing aren't the same thing. If I only have my phone, I can still hear and feel the phone going brrrr. Most of the time, it thumps my wrist via Apple Watch. Beyond that, most of my day is in front of a computer screen, so I see the notification that way. I rarely need a ringer to alert me. I think my ears are on the too sensitive side anyway, so I try to minimize my contributions to the cacophony of daily life. I get that that doesn't suit the needs for everyone though.
Another clue Timmy’s still partying like it’s 2003.
If services revenue needs another record braking quarter, maybe he can dust off the old iTunes ringtone shop. Throw in a free U2 album while he’s at it, for maximum nostalgia and minimum relevance.
.5 updates get wallpaper when we were promised a functioning AI. Full iOS update gets… a ringtone! The AI’s still missing in action, but don’t worry the ringtone will be “magical” and “redefines the industry” and I think we are going to love it.

I have ones that tell me something about the specific contact or person. I use Kamera by Wilco for my brother who is a photographer as an example.I've had the Muppets "Mahna Mahna" song as my ringtone running since I was jailbreaking my iPhone 3g. Still have it, and keep the ringer volume on.
Speaking for only myself of course, my always-silent phone situation is a "bad habit" leftover from bad financial decisions in my 20s leading to endless calls from creditors. I'm in a good place now though, but I've gotten used to vibrations and voicemails 😁
Ring tones? What are those?
My iPhone has been silent since the first Apple Watch was released.

They need to update the original marimba and make it HD. I still use that one, haven't ever changed it since my iPhone 3GS in 2009.
Did they do away with "old phone" in iOS 26? I hope not. It is called a phone for a reason and that is the ring tone that sounds like a "phone".
Apple Watch users usually silence their phones. Watch vibrated and I can see who’s calling. No need to bug everyone around me.
I love how they’re all the same melody, but different instrumentation. It sounds obvious but it’s a really cool idea. Like hearing a remix of your favourite song but in a different genre.
These are nice but the fact that you can now use any sound file as a ringtone easily is even better!
