The Marimba As An iPhone Default Ringtone

The marimba includes every element necessary to produce a unique and practical ringtone. It has a variety of harmonic and inharmonic overtones and is tonally rich. Even when it is layered in a noisy environment, the sound is distinctive enough for the human brain to quickly determine it.

The marimba ringtone reflected Steve Jobs’ varied aesthetic and hinted at cultural sophistication. Additionally, it disarmingly displayed the iPhone’s unexpectedly powerful and high-quality sound system.

It is evident that there was great internal discussion regarding the default ringtone before the first iPhone was ever released, but all indications appear to imply Steve made the decision to choose the 18-note marimba ringtone in the end.

Even while there are many options available today, the majority of iPhone users choose marimba and strum as their default ringtones, even if in some circles, these choices are met with a critical squint.

Love it or hate it, the marimba ringtone is difficult to get rid of since the audio file resides inside the SpringBoard.app program at /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/ring.m4r, not in the Library/Ringtones folder. The marimba ringtone will therefore remain on the iPhone for a while, at least for the majority of us.

In addition, there are a ton of remixed soundtracks available as marimba tones for your phone. All of them are available on RingtoneCC.
