One change I've noticed
The one change that I've noticed for now is that when an app had an update, recently updated is announced when on the app. Join us on Zello on the Blind iPhone channel :)
Siri
I have noticed that there is no longer an audible beep when pressing the Siri button
RE: Siri
I, too, have noticed this.
App switcher
I've also noticed that, even though hitting the home button twice takes you there still, VoiceOver doesn't actually tell you you're in the app switcher. I can confirm that there is no sound when you hold down the siri button as well.
RE: Siri
I also confirm that the Siri beep is missing. I tried toggling VO off/on. I also clicked restart on the Apple TV without resolution. The web doesn't produce anything helpful at this point, either.
siri
Siri doesn't beep and hasn't beeped without voiceover on. I guess there making it like the expierence for the sighted. Not sure.
