While if you are still using the older iTunes versions, you can still apply iTunes to transfer ringtones from iPhone to iPhone. And the detailed steps are below.

But before taking this method, you need to notice that the whole process is about transferring the ringtones on one iPhone to iTunes library, and then syncing to another iPhone from iTunes library. There are two major problems you probably care about.

1. iTunes only supports purchased items transferring to iTunes library, which means that only purchased ringtones on your iPhone can be transferred to another, not including those items from other sources.

2. iTunes syncing will erase the existed media files, such as songs, videos, ringtones, and more, on iPhone. If your iPhone is not totally new, but with many important data, you had better not taking iTunes to transfer ringtones from iPhone to iPhone.

If you want to transfer ringtones from other sources, or do not want to lose any previous data on the target iPhone, please refer to Part 1 to get the solution.

Step 1 Open iTunes, and go to Edit > Preference > Devices > Check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.

Change the sync setting of your iTunes

Step 2 Connect your old iPhone to computer via USB cable, and launch iTunes if it is not running automatically.

Step 3 Click File > Device > Transfer Purchases at the upper corner. And then click Apply at the right bottom. iTunes will automatically sync the purchased ringtones to the iTunes library.

Transfer Purchases at the upper corner

Step 4 Disconnect the iPhone from the computer and connect another iPhone to iTunes. Click on your iPhone, and choose the Tones. Check the box for Sync Tones and then check the ringtones you want to sync. (Note: There are 2 options available, check All tones to sync all ringtone files, or check Selected tones to select the specified ringtones that you want to transfer.) At last, click the Sync button in the bottom right corner of iTunes, it will start transferring ringtones from iPhone to iPhone via iTunes.
