Sometimes, VoiceOver Does Not Speak the Time When the Device is Woken with the Side Button

Description

Sometimes, VoiceOver does not speak the time when the device is woken with the Side Button.

In our experience, the presentation of this issue is very intermittent. When the issue does occur, it usually happens multiple times in a row. Additionally, if the device is woken but VoiceOver does not speak the time, you may find that VoiceOver does speak the time once Face ID authenticates and the device unlocks.

Steps to reproduce

1. Wake your device by tapping the screen.
2. Observe that sometimes, VoiceOver does not speak the time when the device is woken.
3. When the issue presents itself, authenticate your device with Face ID and observe that VoiceOver often speaks the time once your device unlocks.
