    Consider the polyphonic ringtone. Cell companies thought this market would last forever. The 2007 iPhone decimated the billion dollar market. It was the first market iPhone ended but not the last. How iPhone got the default tone was interesting—Read: https://qr.ae/TWRUUE pic.twitter.com/OR2g8NTPQX

        Ringtones are considered rude in a busy urban area especially inside subway trains. So most people just keep the phone in silent mode. Plus we don’t really do real phone calls as often anymore.

        It was not iPhone which killed it. I didn’t have iPhone until 2014 but I stopped downloading ringtones 2005 or so. I got bored with them like everybody else, it was not cool any more and Symbian had dozens of them pre-installed. Not everything is about iPhone and Apple!
