iPhone 12 Pro randomly and arbitrarily lowering volume
**PLEASE READ FIRST: I have never had attention aware on and have checked a million times to make sure that’s still the case - THAT IS NOT THE CAUSE; headphone safety is also off and I am not using headphones anyway - THAT IS NOT THE CAUSE; nothing is pressing the side buttons - THAT IS NOT THE CAUSE; I am not receiving notifications - THAT IS NOT THE CAUSE; it happens in any app and is unpredictable; I have already restarted and hard reset repeatedly**
Following iOS 18 update my iPhone 12 Pro suddenly, randomly, and arbitrarily lowers its volume dramatically. It will be so low it’s almost inaudible even with the volume slider turned up to max. It happens in a wide variety of apps and is not tied to any particular action or activity.
