[Apple once again publicly supports the Rainbow Family, Siri adds a fifth sound]
On the evening of the 23rd, the latest beta version of iOS 15.4 added a fifth Siri voice selection. It is referred to as "Voice 5" in Apple's user-facing interface, but iOS developer Steve Moser reports that its file name refers to the new voice as "Quinn."
The new sound sounds more neutral than earlier Siri sounds. Apple has confirmed that the sound was recorded by a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and Apple has not yet provided any further details about the identity of the voice actor. Apple said last year's voice was recorded by black actors as part of the company's "long-term commitment to diversity and inclusion."
