I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

I switched from Android to iPhone after they stopped making phones with QWERTY physics keyboards. I tried my partner’s iPhone and the screen typing was actually excellent. Now with HUGE version iPhones, it’s wayyyy easier for me.

I’m sure on-screen Android keyboards are VASTLY improved since then, but I don’t have any problems day-to-day shitposting all day

My transition from OnePlus 6T -> iPhone 12 Pro Max -> OnePlus 12 was the same, both times.

iPhone had really good type and haptics and predictive entry around that time...but over time I started to find it annoying. More and more often it would insist that the word I correctly entered 2-3 times is actually wrong.

I'm really happy with the keyboard on my new phone. Haptics are better, hit boxes are better, autocorrect is (generally) better, and it's pretty good about learning new words or fixing between its and it's and such.
