Actually he's right since _conversion_ doesn't count when we're discussing
why Apple crippled the iPhone to a single non-standard aac format.

To better understand why Apple crippled the primitive iPhone functionality,
I just opened a thread asking _why_ on earth Apple crippled native formats.

*For what reason did Apple design the primitive iPhone to be crippled when it comes to ringtone formats?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/x7ZQlrOfGDg>

Specifically, the question is what is the advantage to Apple of crippling
the native audio formats that the iPhone and iPad can use for ringtones?
--
Does Apple cripple the iPhone just becuase it can? Or because it's cruel?
No, right?
There _must_ be a reason then why Apple crippled native ringtone formats.

FACTS:
<https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/android-basics-add-your-own-ringtones-notification-sounds-0169520/>
"MP3, M4A, WAV, and OGG formats are all natively supported by Android,
so practically any audio file you could download will work."

<https://droidrant.com/what-file-type-does-android-use-for-ringtones/>
"Android can use a wide range of audio files, though it recommends MP3
and WAV files. AAC files will not work with Android, but you can
convert them to MP3 or WAV format using a converter."
