Does anyone else have this issue where the iPhone ringtone sometimes only plays for two seconds and then stops? It’s very hit and miss.

Yes, definitely. When a call came in, it used to ring on both my Apple Watch and my phone. Now the watch taps me once instead of ringing, and the phone rings for a second or two and then silences itself. If I pull the phone out of my pocket I can see the ring animation and can answer it. Before I realized this was happening, I missed calls because I thought the caller changed their mind.

Whilst I'm glad it's not just me experiencing this issue, I'm sorry that you have a similar experience. :(

Try resetting the ringtone to default settings or not selecting another ringtone to see if the problem persists.
