iPhone X brings an entirely new identity to the iPhone. For the first time in 10 years, there’s a whole new physical design. There are new ways to interact with the software. And also, there are new sounds. The iPhone’s Marimba ringtone is now iconic. For iPhone X, Apple has included a new ringtone out of the box. But thanks to some crafty individuals we can now add the ringtone file to any iPhone.

Here’s what the Reflection ringtone sounds like.
