To keep things a bit fresher? That's why. It's boring having the same sounds year after year after year. iOS 10 has changed a lot of sounds and it's nice.

Here is one from the lock screen (better showing that the dark does have translucency)
They aren't going to. It's clearly Apple's version of censorship. Don't want to say anything to get this moved to PRSI, but there are some serious unintended consequences by Apple going rogue with emojis...
For example, the simple suggestion of a picnic in the park could say something like this on iOS:
would look significantly different on an Android or Windows device.
IMO, Apple should either remove the gun emoji completely or work within the consortium to address the issue. The "water pistol" is NOT a solution. At. All.

Well I've worked out the parked car. It no longer records you parking at home (worked in Beta 4 but not in Beta 5 so maybe needs adding to changes?). It does however work for me away from home apart from the lock screen notification.
I happen to prefer the iOS 9 version - light text on a dark background square and a lighter colored page background/blur.
But what do I know, right?
If your intention is to ask someone to bring a gun then perhaps typing g-u-n is better than communicating like a 12 year old girl.
Hahahahahahaha FTW
Um, first of all, I would never invite someone to the park and suggest that they bring a weapon of any kind (water pistol and water bombs excluded)... and secondly, is that the whole point having emojis in the first place? (that is, to allow one to communicate like a 12 year old girl)
Damn, looking at it closely, that's how default widgets and notification bubbles should be.
I had it on B4, and still have the issue on B5 - on a VZW Air 2, ATTWS 6S, and VZW 6S+. Then, and today, I tried Reset All Settings and removing/re-adding keyboards - nada.
Tapping on the Emoji Keyboard highlights relevant words 100% of the time, so they're recognized, and I can change the highlighted words by tapping on them... My caveat is that I've updated from 9.3.3 through each Beta. I wanted to wait a bit to do a fresh install and may do that on one of the iPhones later today.
WiFi-Sync with iTunes seems to be fixed. This didn't work in PB2/PB3. iTunes (latest version on MacOS X 10.11.6) tried to connect to the devices (iPhone 6s plus + iPad Air 2).
Let's say I accept your premise as true. In that case a water pistol is fine, since 12 year old girls shouldn't be taking guns anywhere. Grown ups can type the word.
(I actually have more because I never empty my gmail box; guess I could mark them "Read").Just a few, no biggie

Agreed. It just looks a lot nicer with the light colour, clear header (that shows the app name for what widget it is) and then dark for the content of the widget.
Sent feedback with the screenshots.
Yeah I was just noticing this too! I liked the blur effect but will gladly go back to the old iOS 7-9 animation in exchange for better performance.
I'm getting better cell reception on this new beta. I used to have around 3-4 bars on my "spot" in my bedroom and now I'm having 5 bars all the time. Not a glitch too, showing as -63 to -65dBm in field test app.

Whether or not you accept my premise, Apple (or any other company) should not be circumventing the consortium that oversees the whole cross-platform emoji thing. They've gone rogue. What's the point of even participating? Imagine the reaction if the Android team had taken this attitude and just started changing emojis all willy-nilly...
IMO, Apple is free to not offer anything in the slot of "gun" - just display a blank space. But to commandeer the process is wrong.
