Has anyone else noticed that Beta 3 includes two new Siri voices for the British accent?



Is there anyone that can help me figure out if these are new to Beta 3? Or if they were in Beta 1/Beta 2? I have been searching here, other Apple forums, discords, basically everywhere but Twitter (I don’t have one), and I can’t find anyone talking about new voices being added. I posted in the megathread but it went glossed over.

Is there anyone who still happens to be on Beta 1 or Beta 2 (for some reason) who can confirm if these are new to B3? They are new to iOS 17 100%, as they don’t show up on any iOS 16 devices I’ve checked or asked about.

I' wasn't aware of these new voices. Much prefer them to the previous stock voices, they sound more nuanced and natural. Missed a trick though, I'd have loved a Brummie or Geordie accent 😉
