The big news in these new videos is that you get individual ring tones with individual people. This makes it all the more sillier if you still stuck with the preset 25 rongtones. (Which the iPhone fan community is split between "that's a terrible oversight" and "you shouldn't care; Steve knows what's best for you; these aren't the droids you're looking for.")

Also, you can set a 4-digit numeric passcode, but it will still let you make an emergency call with the code, and conecting the phone to it's "daddy" computer resets the passcode.

I agree, the guy's voice does change; it might even be a different microphone and studio.

Way to miscategorize people. Even with contact specific rings, 25 is enough for most people. People don't need a unique ringtone for every person they have ever talked to. You would not remember them anyways.

As for not caring, has nothing to do with Steve knowing better, has everything to do with really not caring. The appeal of ringtones covers a very narrow band of consumers. Sure people don't hate ringtones across the board in a general sense. But most people don't care if they have 5000 ringtones, or their favorite song in there. If it is, okay, but not exactly a deal breaker.

He voice does change.

Wonder if anyone will use the 2237 passcode to lock their iPhones.

Whenever it is turned on or wakes from sleep, this would get annoying. I personally want a passcode when it is turned on but not when it is woke from sleep.

I found the videos to be short and to the point, which is good.

I also like the name.

I second that - it would get on your nerves pretty quick.
