We'll be on the lookout for new features and changes in this release, which comes just 12 days after beta 6 was released. In addition to iOS 5 Beta 7, Apple has pushed Xcode 4.2 Developer Preview 7, iTunes 10.5 beta 7, and Apple TV Software beta 6.
MagSafe Battery Pack support, the ability to merge two existing Apple Card accounts, HomePod timer management in the Home app, and more.
New features for FaceTime calls, tools to reduce distractions, a new notifications experience, added privacy features, complete redesigns for Safari, Weather, and Maps, and more.
Updates for Safari, FaceTime, and many other apps, Universal Control to let a single mouse or trackpad control multiple devices, new Shortcuts app, machine-learning Live Text detection and Visual Lookup, and more.
Redesigned with flat edges, Apple silicon, more ports, improved display, no Touch Bar, and the return of MagSafe charging.
Rumored design changes include shorter stems like current AirPods Pro, but without advanced features like active noise cancellation.

Here's a clue... B E T A
Here's another question for those who paid to get it registered. (or got it registered as a beta tester for another developer)
When you first downloaded the beta, did you get it from apple.com/developer?
If so, go back there and see if you can still download it from there.

I can tell you are a very strongly opinionated person. I won't bother answering this as I see you have already formed a strong opinion of apple's products.
Personally, I wouldn't use the bugs in a beta as a basis for dismissing that tag line.
