Apples iTunes Is Now Selling Ringtones

By Amit Chowdhry • Sep 11, 2007

Apple recently added a feature to iTunes where users can buy and edit ringtones for the iPhone  There is a collection of 500,000+ ringtones on iTunes. To download them, a ringtone icon will appear next to a song if it’s available when logged into iTunes.

From that point, the user can edit the ringtone through iTunes if they wish to. Users can edit, loop, fade in-and-out, and preview the ringtones.

After that, the user can download the edited ringtone for 99 cents but will have to buy the song (if they don’t already own it) for 99 cents as well, thus potentially making each ringtone cost the user $1.98 each.

Collectively, iTunes now sells songs, videos (TV shows and videos), and ringtones. I wonder what is next? Wallpapers for the iPhone perhaps?
