It's a well-known fact the iPhone is crippled compared to Android in terms
of what ringtone formats iOS supports... where that is simply a known fact.

The question is why?

*Why did Apple design iOS to be crippled in terms of ringtone formats?*

What's the advantage, to Apple, of crippling something that simple, and
that useful, and that obvious - which didn't need to be crippled at all?

Why?

FACTS: <https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/android-basics-add-your-own-ringtones-notification-sounds-0169520/>
"MP3, M4A, WAV, and OGG formats are all natively supported by Android,
so practically any audio file you could download will work."

<https://droidrant.com/what-file-type-does-android-use-for-ringtones/>
"Android can use a wide range of audio files, though it recommends MP3
and WAV files. AAC files will not work with Android, but you can
convert them to MP3 or WAV format using a converter."

I'm on this newsgroup for two reasons only - one of which is to learn and
teach others about iOS and the other is to show iKooks for what they are.

No problem with ringtones on this end.

Likewise, I've created hundreds of ringtones on my iPhone easily and for
free. These trolls are just lame.
