Although Apple has had the stop and play sound feature on Macs for nearly four decades, it took more than 15 years to offer the same functionality on iPhones, so how do you turn on and off on an iPhone? Is it possible to add other sounds such as the sound of Windows XP or others?

Since the first Macintosh computer, Apple has added a startup sound, which you hear every time you turn on the device, and this was for the purpose of alerting that the computer was turned on, and this feature still exists now, so that it has become familiar to Mac owners and has become part of their memories. The beautiful, just like Windows XP sound is also familiar to everyone. And Apple was of the opinion that there was never a need for such a similar feature on the iPhone, but this option is now available. In the whole iPhone 14 series. So you can hear a tone when you turn on the iPhone or when you turn it off. But its setup is hidden away from view.

This feature is useful for people who are blind or have low vision, because it informs them that their iPhone is turned off or on. And also useful for other users for the same reason, as well as to distinguish your iPhone from older models.

Quick notes on the on or off sound feature

It only works on iPhone 14 models, and there are several different sounds, and the volume level is the same and you cannot adjust it, and it is also accompanied by haptic feedback that works regardless of whether the mode is silent or the haptic feedback is disabled at the system level, or Even when vibrator is disabled.

How to turn on or off sounds when opening or closing the iPhone

The setting to turn on the opening and closing sound is hidden in the Accessibility settings, so go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Audio / Visual, then enable “Power On & Off Sounds”.

This will hear a tone when you turn off the iPhone or start it.

The shutdown sound is played almost every time the iPhone is turned off in any way, when turned off using buttons, settings, a request from Siri, or a shortcut on the home screen. However, the shutdown sound will not be played when you perform a force restart, you will only hear the startup tone.

Why is this option only available for the iPhone 14 series?

Sounds when turning on and off the device are only available for the iPhone 14 series because access to the sounds on and off the device is built into the A16 Bionic chip driver and not in the iOS operating system. This allows the ringtone to be played even before the operating system has loaded. The reason behind Apple adding these sounds when turning on and off the power is to help users who have poor vision understand when their iPhone has been turned on, turned off, or restarted for any reason.
