In iOS 14.7.1 .. for awhile now we have had full neural-generated Siri voices at least for American and British male and female voices. They are WAY WAY better than before and I hear them in Maps navigation, asking Siri to read messages, etc. So - why on Earth does Apple use only the OLD voice packs for the Accessibility features like select-and-read text? I tried using that feature to have my phone read a PDF book to me and boy so the voices suck. Unlistenable for any length of time.

So now my phone has TWO female British English voices downloaded, for no good reason.
