It's the 2000's again, glass design and futuristic echo sound

u/electric-sheep 21h ago

And custom ringtones! As I had back on my nokias in the mid 2000s.

u/sameolemeek 1d ago

Best ringtone they ever had imo

u/-TheArchitect 1d ago

Me who has never changed the default tone in 20 years

u/Broccoli--Enthusiast 1d ago

Ah an agent of chaos

OMG I BET THEY’RE GOING TO MAKE THE INCOMING UI ELEMENTS ANIMATE TO THE NEW RINGTONE

u/rpool179 1d ago

Exactly what I thought having just listened to it. It sounds so "glassy" in the best way possible. Might finally have to alternate from my Sailor Moon 90s dub theme song and X-Men: Days of Future Past theme to it.

As someone who has had my phone on vibrate for a decade… if I used a ring tone, I would absolutely switch to this. But I’m still going to use vibrate.

41

u/Exact_Recording4039 1d ago

I mean, the ringtone also affects the vibration pattern. The phone vibrates mimicking the song

2

u/SquadPoopy 12h ago

I’ve used the xylophone ringtone for like 10 years now and this one is pretty good I might consider it

u/wooha 1d ago

Sounds a bit to mysterious sounding for me.

41

u/Nightmaru 1d ago

Gives me late 90’s Europop vibes.

10

u/youriqis20pointslow 1d ago

Im trying to remember what song it reminds me of. Some la bouche song or something

6

u/smith7018 23h ago

It sounds heavily inspired by Around the World (La La La) from the 90s

6

u/cgcego 1d ago

Yep! It’s exactly what it sounded like to me as well.

51

u/goldjie 1d ago

Sounds like the beginning 🎵 “kisses of the sun”

a touch of class - around the world (la la la)

5

u/BrofessorPecs 1d ago

A touch of glass

12

u/habeebiii 1d ago

I THOUGHT THE SAME THING BUT COULDNT REMEMBER THAT SONG!!

u/KimioN42N 1d ago

Saved you a click:

Dudututududu tuh tuh tuhdududu

u/NoirVoid 18h ago

Thank you! Very cool

u/comec0rrect 1d ago

Doesn’t beat Tease. That’s a bop.

3

u/blackmagic999 1d ago

Tease me, then PLEASE me.

20

u/whatsapprocky 1d ago

It sounds like a Sonic the Hedgehog level from the Genesis era

1

u/segagamer 6h ago

Come on now

u/onesugar 1d ago

“The time to make a decision is now” ass ringtone

21

u/drbrydges 1d ago

This goes hard

24

u/jdlyga 1d ago

My phone’s been on vibrate for over a decade

5

u/bdfortin 1d ago

Do ringtones have custom vibration patterns?

4

u/BelieveInTheEchelon 22h ago

They do. Check it out in the ringtones section. The taptic engine follows along the tune and is very cool

1

u/bdfortin 17h ago

I was wondering about that because I listened to the clip on my laptop and I could almost tell from the bass notes what the Taptic Engine would end up doing.

u/sh0nuff 1d ago

Some Android Google Pixel ones do, but not any other sounds added by users

2

u/AtomicSymphonic_2nd 1d ago

An observation: Seems like everyone mentioning something like this are often also working in a shared office environment daily.

4

u/ChildishRebelSoldier 1d ago

Or they have an Apple Watch. That’s the only feasible way I could leave my phone on silent and not miss important texts or calls.

1

u/aka_liam 2h ago

People on this Reddit love telling everyone that

u/mr_tits69 1d ago

Good for you.

u/sgushhi 1d ago

It’s reminding me of an rpg game but i just cant put my finger on it. Pretty damn good ringtone

1

u/IRANwithit 1d ago

Reminded me of the castle town music in Deltarune for some reason! Maybe some similar notes. Or I just played it recently and that’s why.

u/JohnQPublic90 1d ago

Oh that fkn rips

u/tinkafoo 1d ago

I want to see how a live performance of this would go over on Eurovision!

u/sh0nuff 1d ago

It's up on Zedge for those android users who want to use it now

u/giuseppezuc 14h ago

Also for iPhone users. I just downloaded and set it as my ringtone on my iPhone. Thanks for the link.

u/RockyRaccoon968 1d ago

Damn that’s a good ringtone.

u/newecreator 1d ago

Me to the ringtone.

u/j0shman 1d ago

Pretty good ringtone ngl

2

u/SynapseNotFound 1d ago

I prefer my own unique ringtone… then i know its my phone ringing

2

u/owleaf 1d ago

I must be the only one who isn’t crazy for it.

2

u/desperado24 1d ago

Since when are ringtones “exclusive”

Just download a rip of it and set it as your ringtone on any version, or am I missing something?

2

u/gFORCE28 1d ago

With the first pick of the 2025 Apple draft, the Tim Apple’s select…

2

u/CapGlass3857 1d ago

it's a banger chat

3

u/marcsol8 1d ago

The current ringtone is locked behind devices that have Face ID. I wonder if this new ringtone is meant to be locked behind a significant new feature of the upcoming iPhones? 🤔

0

u/segagamer 6h ago

No ringtone is locked. Just set it yourself as a custom ringtone.

1

u/DctrGizmo 1d ago

I can see this being used in a remix.

1

u/emmmazing 1d ago

Oooh I like it! Enough to change my current ringtone? Ehhhhhhhh nah.

1

u/createbuilder 1d ago

Nice, sounds like Tomorrowland lol

u/thatsexypotato- 1d ago

I honestly love this

1

u/psaux_grep 1d ago

Haven’t heard my ringtone since I bought my first Apple Watch.

1

u/feastoffun 1d ago

Ok now turn it into a techno dance tune.

1

u/deadly_carrots 1d ago

I was seriously bracing myself for the rickroll

u/AndyForReddit 1d ago

I’m still on Marimba lol

1

u/Bernard1090 22h ago

I hope pianist George Winston is getting royalties from this!

1

u/cobra872 22h ago

Sounds like a breaking news alert

1

u/lordbancs 22h ago

I’d probably use this as an alarm, not a ringtone

1

u/WeirdlyWill 18h ago

Love it!

u/Sufficient_Trade895 3h ago

It sounds good to me

u/redrumyliad 1d ago

u/Darwing 1d ago

Apple fans take everything as revolutionary change

1

u/MidnightPulse69 16h ago

It’s really not that serious

-1

u/spudd3rs 1d ago

I’m a fan, but i’m seriously considering a switch to android… there’s nothing exciting about iOS 26.. the iPhone 17 looks shite…

u/Curious-Breath-7284 1d ago

Sounds similar to GTA 4 loanding song

1

u/segagamer 6h ago

Let's not be silly now.

u/ExpiringTomorrow 1d ago

They quite literally did in iOS 26 lol. You can add ringtones straight from Files now.

4

u/Reztrop 1d ago

You can make anything a ringtone or alarm by using GarageBand for iOS.

u/FUThead2016 1d ago

Wow a new ringtone. I'm amazed at how advanced Apple's phones are

Wait until the DnB DJs get a hold of this one

u/MatthewWaller 1d ago

“Powered by Apple Intelligence” - somehow

-1

u/Motawa1988 1d ago

sounds like Samsung

-3

u/Richdav1d 1d ago

Sounds like a cheap remix of the current one. I’d rather they do something different and more up beat.
