My phone ring volume drops after first ring (becomes too quiet quickly) the phone is a few days old (i13 pro) so seems to be a settings issue.
have set ring vol to max
have check not on do not disturb
have turned on adjust with volume keys and max is set
have tried alternate ring tones
what next?
iPhone 13 Pro
Does the following happen?:
Your iPhone rings normally until you look at it and then the ringer volume goes low. If this happens, then this is part of the Attention Aware Feature of the iPhone. When the iPhone has your attention while you are looking at the screen (typing, reading websites or working with an app), then it automatically reduces the sound because it knows you are looking right at it so no need to issue loud notifications.
You can turn this feature off if you want by opening Settings ➔ Accessibility ➔ Face ID & Attention ➔ Attention Aware Feature set this to OFF.

Is Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Attention Aware Features turned on?
That setting is designed to reduce the volume as soon as the phone recognizes that you have heard it ring.

Actually it is designed to keep you from irritating the people around you when you are out and about, if you are at lunch and your phone rings and you pick it up and look at it there is no reason for it to continue with the full volume ring. Your neighbors in the restaurant will appreciate it.
It also keeps my own phone from irritating me! I always have my ring volume set to maximum so I hear it if I leave it in another room in my house but if it's with me I appreciate that the volume decreases as soon as it recognizes that I've heard it ring.
Wow, too smart for its own good ;) you were absolutely right.
Agreed, I especially appreciate it on the rare days when I set an alarm.
