iOS 26 could be worth the upgrade for this new ringtone alone.

On Monday, Apple released the sixth developer beta of iOS 26 which includes six new ringtones. Five of them are new variations of the Reflection ringtone — currently the iPhone’s default option — with names like Buoyant, Dreamer, Pond, Pop, Surge, and Reflected, which was carried over from previous betas and renamed.

There’s also an entirely new ringtone called Little Bird that’s destined to become an earworm and is begging to be remixed into a real banger.
