How do you do a hard reset?
  • Press and quickly release VOLUME UP


     then

  • Press and quickly release VOLUME DOWN


     then

  • Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears (15-30 seconds), ignoring "slide to power off" if it appears


The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky.

So far this issue has only been seen on beta versions, which, almost by definition, are known to be buggy. If they weren’t the would be the public release, not a beta.


As to why it hasn’t been patched, it isn’t a serious bug. At any given time there are thousands of bugs in any software as complicated as iOS. They are prioritized by the QA team, and the most serious get the most attention. As there is a workaround for this issue (restart the iPhone→Restart your iPhone - Apple Support) it is very low priority.
