The missing element here is, unlike the Mac, the iPhone does not
emit a chime when its powered on. Its a lengthy wait until it boots and
VO sounds off. A long wait to find out if it actually turned on.

It does, it beeps when VO activates, it beeps when you’re attached to power
and you boot and it says shutting down when you power down. That’s pretty good
no?

Hi Stacy. Unfortunately, there is no way to make the iPhone make such a sound.
I totally wish there wasn’t, but unfortunately there is not.

Hello,
I use VO on my iPhone SE. On any iPhone I’ve used there’s never been a way for
me to tell when the iPhone is starting unless it’s plugged into power or my
macbook.
Is there any way that
I can make my phone make some sort of sound when its restarting if it’s not
plugged into power?
Peace,

Hi,
Found this a couple of years ago, so some of you may already have had some fun
with it. Credit to OS X Daily for this.
Would you like your Mac to make a sound when the charge cable is connected,
like your iOS device does? Newer MacBooks already do this, but as long as you
have 10.10.3 or higher and a Mac laptop, you can enable this feature. I use it
and like it a lot as I can know for sure that my cable has initiated the
charging cycle audibly. Instructions below:
To enable Playing a Power Chime Sound Effect on a MacBook Pro & MacBook Air
Disconnect the Mac from the MagSafe power source
Open the Terminal app, found in /Applications/Utilities/
Enter the following command syntax, be sure there are no breaks as you’ll want
to fit the entire sequence onto a single line (no it doesn’t matter if it
wraps):
defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool true; open
/System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app &
Hit Return
Re-connect the MacBook power supply to hear the chime
This will enable the feature through the defaults command string and
simultaneously launch the PowerChime application, the latter tiny app must be
running in order for the power chime sound effect to trigger.
Now you just have to disconnect your MagSafe (or USB-C) power connector from
the Mac, wait a second or two, then reconnect it. You’ll hear the familiar
power connected / charging sound effect from your iPhone and iPad devices.
You can also trigger the sound effect manually, maybe you like the way it
sounds or you’re just curious what we’re talking about here. Use the following
command to play the power chime sound effect:
afplay
/System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app/Contents/Resources/connect_power.aif
To disable the Chime Sound Effect on Power Cable Connect in Mac OS X
You can also turn off the power chime sound effect when you connect a power
cable to a Mac by issuing a different defaults command string within the OS X
Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.PowerChime ChimeOnAllHardware -bool false;killall
PowerChime
This will disable the sound effect when connecting a power cable on the MacBook
Air, MacBook Pro, and yes, it will also disable the power chime sound effect on
the MacBook line as well.
Many new MacBook owners have noticed this little feature, but the source of the
audio was uncovered by @zwaldowski, who reports that some Macs will even have a
vibrating trackpad with this feature enabled (a new Retina MacBook Pro does not
offer that aspect).
Later...
