Apple released iOS 26 on Monday, a few months after the company announced it at the June Worldwide Developers Conference. The update brings call screening, new ringtones and lots of hidden feature for your iPhone. It also brings seven new ringtones to your device.
Many of the new ringtones are remixed versions of the Reflection ringtone. One version includes what sounds like woodwind instruments, while another sounds like a synthwave song you’d hear in Cyberpunk 2077.
Here are all the latest ringtones that Apple could bring to your iPhone this year and what they sound like.

The standout ringtone for me is Dreamer. It’s about 45 seconds long and if I picked this as my ringtone I’d listen to it all the way through each time someone called. For a ringtone it’s a fun track and when I first heard it I was waiting for someone like Wiz Khalifa to start singing a few bars.
There’s also a new ringtone called Little Bird. It’s a new option you can find in the ringtone list.
