The Announce Calls feature on iPhone makes use of Siri to announce the Caller’s Name or Number, so that you can know who is calling on your phone.

If the Caller happens to be in your Contact List, Siri will announce the Caller’s Name.

If the Caller is not in your Contact List, Siri will announce that you have received a Call from an unknown Caller.

As you can imagine, enabling ‘Announce Calls’ feature can be helpful while driving and while you are away from your phone and unable to see who is trying to call you.
