    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.
