RE: Five reasons you'll regret ditching your Apple iPhone for an Android
Yes, but especially with iTunes 12.7 putting a ringtone onto your iPhone really is as simple as copy and paste. Only difference is that instead of opening the ringtones folder on an Android phone using Windows Explorer you open iTunes, go to your device area, go to the Tones tab and paste it into the list of tones. It really is simple and now it syncs automatically as soon as you paste it there, no need any more to taba bunch of times to "Apply" or to select File > Devices > Sync. I see it just like directly going to my iphone except I open iTunes instead of my iPhone directly via Windows explorer.

There was more to it than that though and if i’m honest, I just like having an iPhone and somehow, having the ring tones on another kind of device wouldn’t ring true for me.

RE: Five reasons you'll regret ditching your Apple iPhone for an Android
Considering how easy it is to get free MP3 ringtones or make them and copy them to an Android device the ringtones should be a failry small problem to solve. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Angie Nutt Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2017 4:01 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Five reasons you'll regret ditching your Apple iPhone for an Android Importance: High I’ve used both, still use a rather ancient Android mainly for podcasts.

I’ve used both, still use a rather ancient Android mainly for podcasts. Some apps are more accessible with Android and of course, some with iOS. I used Android phones for a couple of years as my main phones when the accessibility of Android itself was nowhere as good as now. The only reason I switched back is that I simply missed my iPhone. I just love the ring tones for instance and also at the time there were a few things I felt were more accessible.

Re: Five reasons you'll regret ditching your Apple iPhone for an Android
given the time to get the hang of it, I wouldn't mind betting I could come up with features that android does better than iPhone, as when it arrives, will be running an android phone along side the iPhone, so will be able to hopefully do a good comparison.
