Ideal iOS notifications/sounds setup
  1. When volume switch is On, phone both makes noise and vibrates.

  2. When volume switch is Off, phone does not make noise or vibrate.

  3. Calls should make noise/vibrate in extenuating cirumstances, e.g. a call from a favorite or two calls within three minutes.

Vibrate on Silent accomplishes 1 and 2, but prevents 3 from occurring.

3 could be accomplished by ignoring the volume switch altogether and using Do Not Disturb to solely determine whether my phone is silent or not. In this case, I would have DND turned on almost all of the time. The problem with this is that when the phone is unlocked/in use, notifications will either A) not be shown at all or B) will cause noise/vibration.
