Apple’s classy new iPhone ringtone is available to try right now

Macworld

Good news for those who were excited to hear about (and indeed to hear) the new Reflection ringtone hidden in the first iOS 26 developer beta: it’s now available to try out.

The second beta, which dropped this week, contains a few noteworthy tidbits. Among these, surprisingly, was the apparent confirmation that we’re going to get an ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air in the fall, and a number of significant changes, including the availability of a new ringtone.

If you’re running the second beta, open the Settings app and go to Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone. You’ll see that there are now two entries listed under Reflection: “Default” (the old version launched with the iPhone X) and “Alt 1.” The latter is the filename spotted in the first beta, and could be changed to something more polished in a later beta.

You can listen to the new ringtone in the audio file below:

But 9to5Mac will do you one better: the site has a video capture of the updated selection screen with the ringtone playing. It’s a very pleasing melody and we think many iPhone users will want to give it a try. If you’d like to, here’s how to join Apple’s beta program.
