A better question is, why do all Apple ringtones suck except the traditional phone ringtone?
99% of iPhone users use it.

I have the CTU (think "24") ringtone for phone calls. Everyone and everything else is silent.

I'm a boomer.  No ring cameras around my place.

But I know two guys in their 30/40's with those mounted on their homes/garages.

Makes good sense if you live where people have proven themselves to be prone to breaking/entering/stealing.  Or worse.

My ring camera is my dogs, my ears and the P09 .40 with 18 rounds of hollow points in it and two more 17 round mags. in the drawer beside my recliner/couch.

Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 so that's another wrong assumption about boomers.

I'm sure that waiting in line at the grocery store behind someone who needs to use 87 coupons (half of which are expired) and then write a check,  hasn't started filling out the check, and doesn't have his glasses anyway,  is a pretty good indicator.

Lol,exactly what I was thinking.  I picked the loudest, shrillest ringtone/text alert so I can hear it in shop and around machinery.  Fight me op.

Fanny packs were done, a dead deal then a few years ago I saw some kids wearing them and I told my wife that I thought they were coming back. She told me I was crazy.

Then we went to Vegas and I saw young Asian tourists wearing them and I told my wife I think they are coming back. She told me I was crazy.

Then we were at Kohls and she was looking for a new purse and I saw some fanny packs in that department. I pointed them out and my wife told me I was crazy.


Then we stopped at the Cabazon Outlet mall in CA, and she was looking for a deal on expensive stuff and I saw Coach branded Fanny Packs. Again my wife said I was nuts, there is no way they are coming back.

Now I see them all over.


Young people brought Fanny Packs back, not old people.

The outright obsessive derangement some of you have with just that particular age group is beyond explicable approach. I'm a millennial and nothing they do as a whole is even a reason to be logically triggered about. Heck, I've seen people from X, Z, and my M generations that act twice or even three times as worse.

They aren’t called Fanny packs any more.  They’re called belt bags, and they’re worn cross body usually.  At least that’s what my zoomer daughter told me when I pointed out her Fanny pack.
