Ok. So Why does Siri on my iPhone 5 Sound Different Than Siri on my iPhone 5s?

Because Siri on the iphone 5 is already 1 year old, and it is wiser than the newborn iphone 5s.

Is that a fact? I really dont know. Thanks

Puberty?

Siri has different responses.. if you ask siri on your old iphone 5 the same question 10 times... you will more than likely get couple of different responses but generally the same answer..

and yes, I have been told that Siri will gradually "learn" as time goes by and the more you use it.

Did you update to 7.0.3? That fixes voice issues w Siri.

Also, it sounds like just 2 answers. Have you tried just asking it again on the 5S?

Turrets + Sarcasm = very annoying Siri

its like this for everything the siri on the 5 goes into much more elaborate detail and sounds much more human like

whats going on?

Already explained above. Siri has multiple answers for such questions and you're just assuming that the 5s is using shorter and less detailed examples on a poor sample selection of data.

Turrets would just be weird. Tourette syndrome on the other hand...

but why is it that the siri on my brand new 5s sounds incredibly robotic? i went to general settings and i made sure i downloaded enhanced quality . so thats not the problem

How did you do this??

Actually, I noticed this today between my 3rd gen iPad and my iPhone 5s. Right now the 5s has the less refined "robotic" voice while the iPad 3 has better tone and inflection. A week ago the 5s had similar voice quality to the iPad.

What changed for me was that I had wiped and restored my 5s after an unlock.

Best guess is that it takes a while (a few days, a couple weeks maybe?) from a restore to get the "better" Siri voice.

I asked the iphone 5 the same question ten times
All ten times it gave elaborate human like answers with inflections in the voice etc

I asked the iphone 5s the same question ten times and all ten times
It was short and most of all ROBOTIC

The Siri on the iphone 5s does not sound anything like the iphone 5 Siri
Clearly this is some kind of glitch

Nobody else has this issue? Or are people oblivious to the issue like the poster above ?

Check to make sure you have the enhanced sounds downloaded on the 5S.

Tap Settings > general >accessibility >voiceover > languages and dialects > U.S English > Enhanced Quality turned on

----------

Also if it is on already toggle it off and then on again

That has nothing to do with Siri. Siri is all server side, that's why OP found that activating this made no difference.

I want Siri with a British accent.

Ellllllhhhlowwwwwwwww

Siri has turrets? :O

Somehow the majority of the responders seem to have misread the OP's post that it "sounded" different, not that it was giving different answers...

Not according to Apple; they are both linked. Check out the Apple Support link adnbek quoted.

Yes. I see that now.

As I understand it, Siri downloads the high quality voice automatically.

Siri on the iPhone 5s went to exclusive private schools, private riding lessons, has taken protocol classes from a retired officer of the British Diplomatic Corps, and attended a debutantes ball before going to an Ivy for undergrad before taking a gap year to slum around European hostels while living off of hashish and struppewaffel, and then back to Harvard Law before. Siri made partner at 24 because daddy is up for a peerage.

Siri on the iPhone 5c went to public school and then community college and has their dental hygienist certification. (HVAC Cert if you use the male voice). Siri got a weekend gig serving refreshments at the town's soccer fields because Mom used to date the head groundskeeper.


that is why Siri is "different".

DYAC! Turrets.... Turrets....why does iOS think the correct spellings wrong? Tourette's ah, there we go.

Update to iOS 7.0.3

You're listening to it wrong.

Aside from some of these useless comments... I've noticed siri's voice changed when moving from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5. It became more robotic and lighter. I don't like it as much really.

Since updating to iOS 7.0.6 on my iPhone 5S, Siri's voice got much more robotic than before. It was very natural sounding before. I already tried to download the "Enhanced Quality" in the VoiceOver settings, but that made no difference in Siri's voice.

Anyone else with the same issue or with any suggestion on how to get it working?
