You can choose male and female voices for the following accents: American, Australian, British, Irish, and South African. Source: my iPhone.
I didn’t know Irish or ZA; I’ve been using Australian for awhile, maybe it’s time for a switch.
Right, but US iPhones come with a female voice by default, while British ones come set to a male voice.
It's configurable. For English you can choose Male or Female for American, Australian, British, Irish, and South African accents: https://i.imgur.com/IeJH9wu.png
