I believe Apple will batch bug reports together, e.g if someone reports the same bug as another person they will all be linked together. The date updating to a newer date means ether someone else reported the same bug, or there has been an update on that bug, e.g Apple have requested more information, or marked it as fixed etc.
Using beta 6 since yesterday. still bugs to be fixed;
1. CamCard is still crashing. Seems contact compatibility hasn't been provided to third party. It doesn't crash if link with contact is disabled.
2. Smart Invert has been displaying invert pics in third party apps.
Let's see when these are fixed.

iPad 9.7 2017, still delay between tapping an icon and the app opening and the pinch to close gesture still results in a laggy animation.
Both reported, back to iOS 10.3.3 I go.

Every time I install a new beta, my visual voicemail disappears. You have to close the Phone app, do a hard restart and pull your SIM card. Also, I had to toggle my AT&T voicemail password on and off. Kind of a pain.
Definitely. Either they purely intend for it to be a slightly more convenient way of shutting down the device, or it's because a future version of the iPhone will have less buttons...
Never had it in 10. Started with PB4.
I submitted the bug report in PB4 and PB5. Hopefully it will get fixed.
I have it set to rest to unlock but I don't use raise to wake, so I do press the home button to wake and unlock my device. The Problem is periodically if i press the home button and leave my finger on the home button it wakes the device and unlocks but stays on the lock screen. At the top of the lock screen it says the device is unlocked but fails to go to the home screen. To get it to go to the home screen I have to basically lift my finger off the home button and rest it back on the home button to get it to open to the home screen. It pretty much has to scan my finger twice to completely open to the home screen.
In the past, a second reboot (after the beta installation is complete) solves a number of issues, especially battery drain.
When my visual voicemail disappears just restarting the phone is enough to get it back.
Glad I could help. I'm honestly surprised it worked. I pretty much pulled that solution out of thin air based on randomly remembering people who were upset when their devices had auto-downloaded a major iOS update (8 or 9?) and were complaining about the settings icon being red and nagging them to update, or it had already processed and was waiting to install. The solution at the time was to go into settings > iphone storage and delete the update file itself. I'll just file this under the "random crap I remember reading on MacRumors from years ago that was of zero relevance to me yet can't remember what I had for dinner last night" category.
This is a known problem in iOS 11 on 6s and 7!
Can you post a screen recording of 3D Touch on your home screen icons to prove it’s running as good as iOS 10. You may not notice it or you may have a special magical phone in your possession.

Since I didn't really run the betas up until beta 6, I didn't realize that pushing the buttons for wi-fi or bluetooth didn't turn them off. Just disconnected. Yuck.
I just jumped in on PB5, and my AT&T visual voicemail was replaced by a "Call Voicemail" box. I sent myself a voicemail from my landline and that fixed it, including restoring voicemails in my "Deleted Messages" folder.
Why is everything bolder and rounder with each beta?
I actually quite like the roundedness as opposed to the sharp edges, makes it look somewhat friendlier. What makes me laugh though is how they’re reverting back to the same boldness we already had in iOS 6.
From this:
To this:
To this:
They went from: “Screw you Forstall! Everything shall be thinner and flatter and more beautiful from now on!”
To: “Well, I suppose we should make things bolder so they’re easier to read”.
Notice the calendar icon is now thicker which was already even more thicker in iOS 6? Notice how they got rid of the lines in the camera icon when they already had none in iOS 6? Same for the clock face which was actually bolder in iOS 6, and the signal bars, the battery indicator etc.
They tried to fix what wasn’t broke and are now fixing what they then broke which they didn’t even brake in the first place.
It turns out that Jony was wrong and has no idea what he’s doing with software design, and that Forstall was right all along. This proves that nothing needed to be changed. Now they have to backtrack by constantly revamping UI elements every iOS version.

I have experienced the same thing on my 2015 Honda Accord. I do not have Apple Play, but since going to iOS 11 the contact picture shows when receiving or making a call.
It's not more bold, it's more stylized. iOS 6 has gradient-itis. those gradients are gone and so is skeuomorphism. Then ick s are a bit more in your face, not ios 6-esque. I don't see any issue with revamping icons; they are not "backtracking".
