Nearly two months later, and because of the glitchy 'iPad minimized keyboard accessory' thing, I *still* cannot add dates to my reminders with natural language input. Among other issues.

Yes, I filed feedback two months ago. (See above.) I'm guessing it will probably ship like this, completely broken. 🤷‍♂️

While we're at it: none of ~20 Feedback items I filed in this beta cycle have been officially addressed (but I was privately told they're appreciated), and widgets – the core feature of iOS 17 – are still losing their configuration on the Home Screen every few days for me.

I like iOS 17 a lot, and I understand Apple is swamped with the Vision Pro, but it feels like this whole beta > Feedback > beta process needs to be fundamentally rethought.

@viticci Are the public betas really about shaking out bugs, or are they just a way of generating buzz during the summer doldrums?

My cynicism about this always reaches its peak in late August. It should subside in a month or so.
