My battery wouldn’t last long enough for me to do that…

Laughable how difficult it is to do on an iPhone. Sure just getting music on it in the first place is a trial in itself with all the iTunes and syncing shite. Android is just drag and drop

If you’ve a Mac, you can just edit the song in GarageBand, and import as ringtone to iTunes, sync with iPhone, and you’re done.

Since when is this a thing? I’ve had various phones over the past 15 years, always had a custom ringtone and never had a problem setting it (actually, I tell a lie, I had one for an afternoon that I returned when I discovered it couldn’t do it easily).

Certainly, the article seems to be making things more complicated than they need to be for Androids. On my current phone, you don’t need to download any apps or anything like that. Just two steps:

(i) Save your desired MP3 (any length you like) to the “Sounds” folder on the phone.
(ii) Go — Settings>Sounds>Set Ringtone>Add and pick your MP3,

Simples.

You can even, just as easily, set your clock alarm to whatever MP3 you want. And you ‘notification’ tone (for emails, facebook updates etc) The only thing that’s tricky is setting things like the startup sound and camera shutter sound, but that those can be done with downloaded apps and a few steps.

or get the free ringtones app that lets you create them on your iphone from your music library, email them to yourself, open on your PC with itunes, sync iphone to PC, hey presto ring tone is on your iphone

The windows phone is crap, my mother in law got a free one (no wonder they were giving them away) and I was tasked with setting it up, an afternoon spent battling the phone, its too complicated I use Linux on the laptop and spend all day using drive and gmai on both the desktop ann the phone for work and give me android any day its intuitive and logical,

Ah but how do I apply different ringtones to different contacts on iPhone?
