If your iPhone ring sounds shorter than expected, it might be due to your ringtime settings or network issues. To extend the ring time, try dialing `#61#` and note the number under ‘voice call forwarding’. Then, dial `61+PhoneNumber11NumberOfSeconds#`, with the phone number you noted and the desired ringtime in seconds (5 to 30). Press 'Call'. This adjusts how long your iPhone rings before going to voicemail. If problems persist, consider contacting your service provider as it may be a network-related issue.
