Hi Tom, The restrictions Apple imposes at times can be a pain, but in many cases it's that control which makes iOS what it is and that is awesomely accessible, secure, stabil and all in all a very good user experience.
There is no point in going on about how unfair it is that Apple doesn't allow a developer like those who have RingTone apps to put the ringtone straight into the RingTone Library on the phone right from the app. But complaining about this is useless as I doubt Apple will give full access to the file system any time soon. It's like Pablo's ongoing complaints about not being able to downgrade from iOS 6 to iOS 5, Apple doesn't allow that and if one does their homework before that is not a secret and anybody who doesn't want to take the risk should not upgrade. Anyhow, I personally don't find it very difficult to create the ringtone and either email it or grab it in iTunes with iTunes File Transfer and to save it into my RingTones folder and then sync. I sync my phone with iTunes from time to time anyways so really it's just one extra step to get the ringtone into the RingTones or Automatically Add to Library folder. After all, I don't care if I have to sync my phone with iTunes to get it onto the phone or if I have to find the Ringtones folder on my phone and manually copy it in there, the end result is the same. And you could always Jailbreak if you want full access to the file system and use all the wonderful jailbreak apps that are out there, it may result in your phone being less stabil, but it's for everybody to decide. Of course if you have upgraded to iOS 6 jailbreaking is not yet an option, at least not for the normal guy who wants an untethered jailbreak.
