So, would you complain if it wasn't spoken at all? I'd bet you would. Isn't
it a good thing that we get caller ID at all? I mean? Seriously?

Subject: Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue
with VoiceOver on iPhone
Hi,
Not to sound discouraging but, I honestly don't know how many really share
this concern. I'm not so sure it's unavoidable either. One could mute
speech with a 3 finger double tap when not in use or, turn Voiceover off all
together with a 3 triple press of home, and turn either back on when
receiving an incoming call or, just want access to the phone. You could
even turn down the volume of voiceover so it would be hard to hear if not
holding the device in your hand. But I must say, of all bugs I want fixed,
or features I want to see added, This wouldn't even make my top 10.
But, who knows? I might be in the minority on this topic. Hopefully your
message will urge others with the same concerns to contact Apple about it.
JMO.,
Ricardo Walker

Hi list,
I remember reporting this a while ago to Apple Accessibility… To no avail.
VoiceOver users have an unavoidable privacy issue: the automatic
announcement of the caller ID of an incoming call.
It should be possible to make this optional, with the ability to manually
interrogate the screen to know who is calling.
Moreover, why is it that when we have a headphone connected, the caller ID
is still spoken out loud through the speakerphone?
What do we have to do for Apple to take this into consideration? A
petition?
