If beta testing were to be truly effective, Apple would have to create a very detailed flow chart the testers would have to follow faithfully. That in itself would not be practical. More testers on the team tho I have no idea how many there are now.

We could label this any way we like but bugs are things that do any number of things that are not desired. This is not a desired result of tapping the status bar therefore its a buglet.

Hello,
Thank you all for responding to my email and confirming the strange behavior. Note that I 
said "strange behavior," and not bug. In my opinion, it's not a bug, but a 
strange behavior.
A strange behavior which has never happened in the past.
Here's also my opinion on Apple's beta test and what not.
I agree that everything is a work in progress. I also agree that when something 
as complicated as an operating system, it is almost impossible to be completely 
bug free. However, Apple has a dedicated Accessibility team. They also have 
senior engineers who answer calls helping end users with accessibility issues. 
I've also met people, blind and not, who are private beta testers for VoiceOver 
and Zoom.
With all this in place, it seems so impossible for something as obvious as an 
incorrect status bar item to slip through without being discovered. It is 
almost impossible to test a braille display without seeing this issue.
Of course private beta testers are just that, private, certain select people, 
and who probably are not as thorough as people who work for Apple. All we can 
do is report it as a new issue and hope Apple will add it to their growing list 
of bugs to fix.
I also agree that the missing email in the inbox is still there. I thought I'm 
the only person having this issue.
I also have a new bug in Yosemite after updating to 10.10.3. I will check into 
that further before I report it to Apple.

   It's called "work in progress". If people wait for an OS that is 100% bug 
free, they be in for a long wait.

   This wee buglet that has drawn so much interest did not break anything, or 
am I missing something? I tried it and did not experience an earth shattering 
meltdown. If this really bothers people, let them pile on Apple Accessibility 
with bug reports and divert their attention from much more important bugs.

I thought the advent of "public" BetaTesting would resolve these
perceived "bugs' and/or "flaws" in Apple's iOS (iOS8 & Beyond)

This doesn't make me more secure about forthcoming/upcoming iOS updates
such as, iOS9

I suggest keep the pressure on by detailing perceived "bugs" and/or
"flaws" detected in iOS in the form of Constructive Criticism to Apple's
Accessibility Department

Is Apple "slipping as it pertains to accessibility...only time will tell
the true story

When companies say they have fixed bugs, I take it like a pinch of
salt, as from beta testing in the past [not Apple], things are still
the same. Still bugs when you write Braille with Braille displays on
the I phone.

It's our day for slagging Apple perhaps smily.

Using an iPhone 6 Plus, there is the same bug.

Another problem, which has not been fixed yet, is the focus in
email, when you go to read a message, it suddenly disappears. This has
been the case since the new operating system came out. So to bugs, not
been fixed.

I updated my iPhone 6 yesterday to iOS 8.3 and immediately noticed
something a little strange. It doesn't affect how iOS or the phone
works, but the fact that this is even possible is very strange, and a
little funny.

If you updated your phone to iOS 8.3, try the following:
First, remember that at the top of the screen, where your status
is, 1 of the items is your network. This tells you the name of the
network you are using, AT&T, Verizon, Virgin Mobile, etc.
Now open 1 of the following apps: Calendar, Notes, Weather, Music,
Photos, or Reminders. These are the apps I've tested so far.
With 1 of these apps open, now check your network name again. Does
VoiceOver still say the name of your network?
Mine does not. Visually, my phone is still showing the name of my
network. But VoiceOver says, "Swipe down with 3 fingers to reveal the
Notification Center. Swipe up with 3 fingers to reveal the Control
Center. Double tap to scroll to top".

So far, I've been able to verify this rather interesting behavior
with 3 iPhone 6's. I'm going to try it on a 6 Plus shortly.

I'd like to know if anyone else is haring VoiceOver saying the
same thing to them.

Might be another call to Apple Accessibility.
