How to upload and change iPhone ringtone? What files can be a ringtone on iPhone?

Many brands, platforms and devices have sound alerts that are becoming really popular and recognizable. This makes it easy to pinpoint the source of their origin. Many people can easily hum a ringtone from Sony Ericsson phones, and even more people know the classic melody from the ringtone of Nokia phones.

iPhone - an Apple smartphone - from the beginning offered many sounds that could be used as a ringtone, but one of them was obviously the default one. Its name is Marimba, and the sound we hear is the sound of a knuckle hitting a wooden key. Dr. Gerhard Lengeling, who owned the Emagic company taken over by Apple, was responsible for it. She was responsible for music applications that appeared under the Apple banner - for example, Garage Band, which is a tool for creating music for ordinary people.

In 2005, GarageBand Jam Pack 4: Symphony Orchestra Instruments was released, which included sounds similar to the final version of Marimba. It was the influence of the musical genius of Dr. Lengeling on Steve Jobs that resulted in the selection of 25 ringtones that were included in the first iPhoneOS. Why did you choose Marimba as your default ringtone? It was a sound that was well heard in loud environments and crowded places. What's more, it gave the speaker built into the first iPhone a chance to resonate. You can read much more on Forbes.

Ringtones that were on the first iPhone: Alarm, Ascending, Bark, Bell Tower, Blues, Boing, Crickets, Digital, Doorbell, Duck, Harp, Marimba, Motorcycle, Old Car Horn, Old Phone, Piano Riff, Pinball , Robot, Sci-Fi, Sonar, Strum, Timba, Time Passing, Trill and Xylophone.

If you want to use an external file, you need to prepare it first.

1. Select the sound you want and make sure it doesn't last longer than 40 seconds. If necessary, we trim, e.g. in Audacity (available for all platforms). We export to WAV (the fastest).
2. From any other format, we convert the ringtone to an AAC file and change the extension to *.m4r. There are also free online web-applications for this purpose.
3. Copy the file to the iPhone's memory using the iTunes application (Windows) or through the Finder (macOS). Just connect your iPhone to your computer and drag the file onto it when it appears in iTunes or Finder.

Remember that only files of the correct length, format and extension will appear in the iOS ringtones section.

iPhone (iOS and iPadOS) only supports ringtones in m4r format (AAC codec). The maximum length of such a file is 40 seconds, although 30 seconds is often incorrectly stated. If you have a ringtone in mp3, wav or other non-supported format, you need to convert it using a suitable program (Free Converter or online tool) to a compatible format (AAC/M4R).
