How to Make a Custom Ringtone for Your iPhone 6/6 Plus

As we can see from the iPhone supported format list, the default audio codec for iPhone as well as all iOS devices is AAC (Advanced Audio Coding). This format is the official successor to the popular MP3 format and provides better quality than MP3 at comparable bit rates. It is very popular with most smart-phone manufacturers and widely supported by Android, Blackberry, Nokia and other phones.

When it comes to iPhone, the music played on it goes along with the file extension of .m4a. Which means, the music you are listening, whether bought from iTunes or converted form other resources, is actually in .m4a. While the ringtone format for iPhone is slightly different with a file extension of .m4r. This presents difficulties when putting any music in other format in iPhone ringtone list.
