My wife just bought a new iPhone 13 a week ago, ringtone is hard to hear even ringtone sound and haptics is set to the loudest setting. Notification sounds r louder than ringtone. Why? Is the iPhone defective or just a software issue?

Hi Cherub7171,
Although the ringtone volume is up in settings, this might be due to the volume being lowered on the phone. Try calling your wife and as the call is ringing, have your wife press the volume up button. Does the volume appear to be turned up all the way on the slider that appears? If so, you can lock the ringer volume in and prevent it being changed with the side buttons by disabling Change with Buttons if you'd like. Below guidance is from Adjust the volume on iPhone - Apple Support.
"Lock the ringer and alert volumes in Settings
Also, check if your wife is looking at the phone while you call. This new feature called Attention Awareness will lower the volume when the camera sees the owner looking at it. Turn Attention Aware features on or off on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support
She can also turn that feature off, and test, OR have the phone facing down when you test.
Kind regards.
I can’t Thankyou enough I bought an iPhone 14 2 weeks back & am having massive problems adjusting. Was about to return it when I saw your answer above😁
Use the above suggestion and it definitely worked for me. All to do with the phone believing you’re giving it attention!
Me too!!!!
You are a life-saver. A thousand thank yous from me.
Ringer soft .. txt normal?
Ringer high volume but rinds low volume
Me too 👍
Off and still quiet for me about to switch back android
Ringer on my 14 iPhone way too soft. When resetting loudness in Settings, ring is loud. When incoming phone call, I’m barely able to hear the sound of the ring. Can this b fixed?
I think the wording on this feature is confusing. "Turn off voice control" shows on, which actually means voice control is off.
Finally! Thank you. I thought I was going crazy.
iPhone ringtone quiet - even on loudest setting
