Apple has officially released iPhone and iPod touch Software 1.1.2 through iTunes.
Previously, the Software Update was only available on Apple Download server, during iPhone launch in the UK and Germany.
How to add your own custom made ringtones to the iPhone:
- You need iTunes 7.5 and iPhone Software 1.1.2
- Encode the file into 128kbps AAC, smaller file size is preferred. I use GarageBand to edit and convert the audio file.
- Rename the file extension from “.m4a” to “.m4r”; for Mac OS X “Get Info” the file, then change the extension name there.
- Add the now “.m4r” file into iTunes, preferably have iTunes to copy the files into the library.
- Connect your iPhone, go to the “Ringtones” tab, and check the ringtones you want to send to the iPhone.
