So, I just installed the public beta a few hours ago, and it seems to be pretty stable. However, I have one minor annoyance, with the Lock Screen, as now rather than having the time first, it gives you the date first. And, when you wake up the phone, instead of hearing the time, you now hear the date. I want the date on the Lock Screen, but time should definitely come first. I know it should be possible to customize the Lock Screen in this version, but have not been able to figure out how to do it so far.

Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms
Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.
If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

Hi! I totally agree with you. Please report this in the feedback app; categorize it as accessibility>voiceover>suggestion. I think the more of us that speak up about time being more valuable than hopefully it will change. I don't think it's possible to customize the lock screen as we'd like to at this time. If they'd implement a system like that of the Apple Watch faces with customizable complications and choosing what's spoken upon waking up, I think we'd have an easier/better time.

Using iPad 9 gen. Does the same. Maybe is not a bug. Get the day and the time.

Seems to be fixed in the latest beta update. Unlocking the phone VO speaks the time instead of the date.
iPhone 12 mini here.
