Apple just released iOS 7.1 beta 5 firmware which brings new natural-sounding Siri voices for English (Australia), English (United Kingdom), Japanese, and Chinese (Mandarin - China).
The iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. After you have configured a Wi-Fi network and have the device connected to a power source, iOS will automatically download and install a higher quality version.
In addition, Apple has added a new minimal-ui property for mobile Safari. The property allows minimizing the top and bottom bars on the iPhone as the page loads. While on a page using minimal-ui, tapping the top bar brings the bars back. Tapping back in the content dismisses them again.
Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for more updates on the new firmware.
