One of the features is a male voice option for Siri.
The additional gender option for Siri was announced during the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 10, but it wasn't unavailable in its initial beta distribution for developers.
The female voice of Apple's voice command, which launched with the iPhone 4S, is still an option within iOS 7.

By visiting Apple's Developer page, people can download iOS 7 beta as long as they have an iOS developer account, which cost $99 per year. The iOS 7 beta is prone to potential bugs and crashes since it is still in its early stages, which is why Apple promotes the beta version, to avoid such occurrences ahead of its full launch this autumn.

"[iOS 7] has a whole new structure that is coherent and applied across the entire system," said Apple's Senior Vice President of Design Jony Ive.
