With the sixth beta of iOS 26, Apple has added several new ringtones that are alternatives to the classic "Reflection" ringtone. Reflection is the ringtone that Apple has long used as the default on the iPhone.
In addition to the standard Reflection ringtone, there are now six variants: Buoyant, Dreamer, Tech, Pop, Reflected, and Surge.
Reflected is identical to the "Alt 1" ringtone option that was added back in the second beta of iOS 26.
The classic Reflection ringtone is still the default, so if you prefer one of the new sounds, you'll need to set it manually. Apple also added a new ringtone called Little Bird, which is distinct from the new Reflection options. You can listen to all the new ringtones below.

You can get to the new ringtones in iOS 26 by opening up Sounds and Haptics in the Settings app, tapping on Ringtone, tapping on Reflection, and then selecting one of the alternates.

I've had the Muppets "Mahna Mahna" song as my ringtone running since I was jailbreaking my iPhone 3g. Still have it, and keep the ringer volume on. :)
Probably an unpopular opinion but no one uses ringtones anymore. Most of us keep our phones on silent or just let it go to voicemail
Maybe for you, but some of us still do use ringtones. I specifically use them for certain contacts, to know who is calling without looking at my phone.

I’m the opposite and hardly silence the phone. How else can I answer a call?
99% true for me. I still have various ringtones and notification sounds set for CarPlay.
In fact, I don’t know any friend or family of mine who silence their phone. I wonder if it’s a cultural phenomenon.
I don't have mine on mute or silent, it's always on. I have no idea why anyone would not want to ever get calls. Kinda important.
