That's the one thing Apple still struggles with in iOS, is customization of the small things like notification sounds, they'll make random changes on their end, but nothing that the users can accept or even revert back on.

What? I’ve had custom ring and message sounds for years. It’s been so long I honestly don’t remember how I did it though. Had to convert to a specific format in iTunes etc, so while not super intuitive, it’s absolutely doable

Idk why they didn’t lean into customisation more, people went wild for jail breaking their phones just for that. I’d be willing to bet they’d make a pretty petty with cheap options to purchase the same as ring tones and such

Or even customisation of notification persistence on a per-mailbox basis in the Mail app. I only want persistent notifications for my work email, not my personal ones.

The lockscreen torch/camera buttons are still the best example of limited customisation though
