(course the company is way behind and it&#8217;s an iPhone 7 while 11&#8217;s are being sold in stores)<br \/>\nNot liking a few things already, but i&#8217;m sure i&#8217;ll get used to it.<br \/>\nFirst off.. just wanting to add my own notification sounds.. Have to follow this process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>install iTunes on PC (thats even a silly thing &#8211; they moved it to the microsoft store, and MS won&#8217;t install anything from the store if the device isn&#8217;t registered, and you cant register without signing into the device with your MS account.. just stupid. It&#8217;s my company laptop, so i&#8217;m not going to sign in with my MS account. Found a spot to grab older versions direct download: <a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/docs\/DOC-6562#versions\">https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/docs\/DOC-6562#versions<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>drag and drop mp3 onto song list in itunes<\/li>\n<li>select song, select file-&gt;convert-&gt;ACC<\/li>\n<li>right click on header line in song list and include Kind so that you can now see the difference between the 2 identically named songs.<\/li>\n<li>Drag and drop the ACC one to your desktop<\/li>\n<li>Rename the extension to be m4r instead of the m4a.<\/li>\n<li>In iTunes, switch to the Tones folder.<\/li>\n<li>Drag and drop the m4r file into the tones folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Done. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/248489\/how-to-add-custom-ringtones-to-your-iphone\/\">https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/248489\/how-to-add-custom-ringtones-to-your-iphone\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also.. they haven&#8217;t yet enabled simple stuff like have the weather shown on your lock screen! Oh, apparently recently they did add that &#8211; but only for Do Not Disturb settings, so it only appears briefly, after you leave your do not disturb period. So silly.<\/p>\n<p>Also, homescreen icons must be locked into a grid which automatically compresses to top left.\u00a0 Should be able to place anywhere on the screen &#8211; with maybe the grid locking, but no compression to the top. Saw there is an app out there that lets you customize this better.. we&#8217;ll see if i bother.<\/p>\n<p>I am liking the mail app, and how it handles multiple accounts, and choosing the mailboxes to display..<\/p>\n<p>Dislike the way to switch \/ close apps.. it&#8217;s tedious to &#8216;hard swipe&#8217; from the left, half way on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure i&#8217;ll add some more bitching \/ tips below over time..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I now have my first iPhone courtesy of the company..
