Hey everyone,
with all the news about Gemini being integrated into Siri, do you think Siri’s voice will change in iOS 26.4? Will Apple start using Gemini’s native audio models? I really hope so.
What are your thoughts and expectations? Personally, I think this would be a really good move — Apple’s voices still don’t match the quality of Google’s original Gemini voices.

I wish we were getting some new voices
I wish we were going to get some new serious voices. There needs to be new South African voices and new Irish voices and we need some Scottish voices. I just think every choice should have an equal number of voices. They should probably even be a new British theory in new Australian theory so those can all have five choices just like American does. And then they should do the same thing for South African, Indian and Irish all of those don’t just have two choices. I just feel like it would be fair that way for all the equal number of voices. I think the same thing happened for the other languages too. As far as the voice is for voiceover, I like what we have for that. I’m using Kait and hands on my iPhone SE third generation and Karen premium on my iPhone 15.

Why not work on making VO more stable and fix bugs instead of wishes. Long live cats.
Agreement.
I agree with Holger. And not just because of long live cats! We have plenty of voice options. Fix the bugs please!

FYI, 1 trillion Dollar apple is worth. VO need a reform or a new and improve VO. "Voices, we do not need no stinking voices".
We have the right to wish for whatever we want
We can wish for whatever we want. People can wish for new voices and people can wish for bugs to be fixed. There’s no reason that we can’t have both things. Apple can work on fixing bugs and give us new voices if they want to. Like I said, I’m happy with the ones that we have but it would be cool. That’s all I’m saying. There’s different teams that work on different aspects of the Apple software. The voices are totally different from the voiceover voices anyway. I think it would be really cool to be able to use the voice voice for Siri if we want to. We can already use Voice for voiceover so we should be able to have the other ability as well. Anybody can wish for whatever we want. Nobody should be told they can’t wish for things I’m here. Everybody has the right to their own opinions.
I wish for an insect voice
Something like D'vora, from Mortal Kombat. After all, nothing says love like a 6 foot tall humanoid female cockroach.
Talk about 'buggy' voices... 🐞

Wait for iOS 50. It will be great.
voices and choices
Holger is right, although I probably wouldn't have put it that way lol.
A lot of people here want more voices, and I guess voices can be like fonts, use the one that best fits the situation.
I'm happy with what we have, but if you're not satisfied, that's on you, as long as my device does what it's suppose to, that's enough for me.
Personally, I can't stand any of the Gemini voices, even the aussie versions sound, bleh, but I eventually settled on, I think her name is Lyra.
