I settled upon mercury. The new alarm sounds are a curiously quiet.
I submitted a Feedback for this, hoping it is just a small bug and they allow all sync’ed tones to work for alerts too.

These new haptics are wild. And loving the new ringtones.
Maybe they don’t want their own ringtones triggering the “Loud environment” notification.
Yeah ringtones are dope.
Ringtone, alarm and text tones all changed. Can’t believe I’ve reintroduced an iMessage alert tone - it’s been on “none” for years.
Ok, got 'em. First rule of iOS beta is hard reboot. Done and voila, the ringtones magically appear.
Yep, same here. Though I’ve been waiting for what feels like forever for Apple to actually include some new ringtones and notification sounds and I honestly like most of the new entries so I guess I’ll take the good with the bad haha.
I’ve also noticed that just previewing them; they are noticeably quieter at the same volume level than the others. But I do like them! So I guess I’ll just be bumping the volume up a little bit! 😛
Had some hope RC would fix the issue I’ve been having with iOS 17 where all 3rd party apps have been using a lot of data/cache from minimal use and fills up my storage quickly. This issue unfortunately is still present in RC. Not sure what else to do. Every few days I’m having to uninstall and then reinstall apps to clear data/cache specially ones like YouTube that fills up really quick from watching a few videos.
Of course the relative silence may be Apple’s long overdue recognition that the previews of these tunes was way too loud in the past. I’ve scared my wife and dogs several times by accidentally tapping one as I was thumbing through them.
Hang in there. It’ll be fine. Glad to see you on the platform for the iOS 17 train.
Other than the high cache usage are you actually experiencing any issues? For example, are you getting out of storage warnings or are apps uninstalling to compensate?
A few years ago, the system storage was doing this. For most (but not all), this was “phantom” data and it had no impact on their phone usage. Some however tried that apps were being uninstalled by iOS to make room.
No other issues with iOS 17 besides this. I’ve never had this issue in any betas in the past with iOS 16 and prior. I installed iOS 17 around the 5th beta and then issue started immediately. Haven’t ran out of space but I’ve had to put photos and videos in an external USB because apps are using a lot of data/cache within a few days of normal use.
But what prompted you to move the photos and videos onto external storage? Did you get a warning? Or did you do so out of an abundance of caution?
Did it out of caution. I take a lot of videos and fills up my storage mostly but now these apps are using more space. For example YouTube goes to over a gig of data/space with just watching a few videos. Before iOS 17, it would take weeks or more to reach 1gig. Same thing for apps like instagram, facebook etc specially if watching videos.
My suspicion is that you would have no issues and that the system is misreporting the status. But I can understand your desire to be cautious.
Only other option is to do a restore and clean install of iOS 17 to see if that fixes it
Hmm, still can't sync with Ventura 13.5.2. A software update is needed and when I say install, it says it can't be downloaded because the software isn't available. I guess I'll wait until Monday to see what happens when it's officially out.
