The innovation of the cloud makes it possible to sync your iPhone without needing to connect it to a computer.

Unfortunately, the one thing you’re not currently able to sync through the cloud are ringtones.

This is a pain for most iPhone users. It effectively means that you have to sync the iPhone with iTunes to enable you to download the specific ringtone you want. This in turn means that you require the parent computer which houses your iTunes account before you can download the ringtone; which isn’t exactly ideal.

Luckily, there is another way to get ringtones on an iPhone 6 without iTunes and it’s an incredibly easy and quick solution which makes you wonder why so few people know anything about it. It also makes you wonder why Apple make such functionality so difficult but there you go. So here’s how to get it done:

Firstly, you will need to download the free app iTools onto your computer. Have your iPhone, a computer and an iPhone USB cable handy and make sure you have a ringtone file.

From there:

Open iTools -> Connect your iPhone to a computer using a USB cable -> iTools will recognise your iPhone and display its details on screen -> Select Music from the left of the iTools screen -> Select Ringtones under Media Types -> Select import at the top of the screen

Now you’re able to transfer the ringtone to your iPhone:

Select the ringtone you wish to transfer -> Click Import which should appear towards the bottom of the screen -> iTools will begin the ringtone download and it will presently appear on your phone

So there you go the conundrum of how to get ringtones on an iPhone 6 without iTunes.
