I don't have mine on mute or silent, it's always on. I have no idea why anyone would not want to ever get calls. Kinda important.

I don't even know what's my current ringtone, but I do want to receive my calls and other necessary notifications. That why they buzz the watch on my wrist without announcing everything to everyone around me.

Probably an unpopular opinion but no one uses ringtones anymore. Most of us keep our phones on silent or just let it go to voicemail

You have clearly never lived in Vietnam I don’t think they know the silence button exists here!

I just noticed this week that I hate a loud ring lmao. almost every ringtone are just too upbeat and fast. I use “TILT” now because that’s the most calm.

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".

Checked it now: They didn't, it's still there. And I hear it a lot around, presumably because a lot of people choose it for the same reason: it's the only ringtone that sounds like an actual phone.

I wouldn't mind a more digital ringer that would be more appropriate to a mobile phone, rather than an old rotary phone. 🙂

For me, the iOS7 ringtone "Hillside" has come the closest to what I would consider a discreet mobile ringtone. Like I said, I'm missing some variety in this regard…

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.

Marimba seems to be making a comeback on TikTok if the sounds coming out of my wife’s phone while she’s doomscrolling are anything to go by. An HD refresh of it would be quite nice though.
