I'm thinking of switching to iPhone after always having and Android. All these negative posts are really making me reconsider though.

#533I thought i learned to forget how to type. knew i wasn't going crazy.
edit: another apple issue i have been hearing about recently is that the apple watch alarm just doesn't work some days. i have no idea why.
i don't have silent mode on when it happens. i have tried so many different settings to fix it. ended up buying the hatch alarm.

#534My guess is that the 'wrong letter entered' bug is by design. The keyboard animation happens on the touchdown event, whereas the letter is entered into the text box on the touchup event. Between the two, more information might emerge about the touch - for example the exact shape of the touched area, and movement during the touch, etc. I would guess the keyboard sees a down in one spot, and an up in a slightly differe…
I tested this, and if I have slide-to-type disabled, and slide my fingers, then every letter I slide over will highlight, but only the letter I let my finger up on will show up in the text input box.
If I don't have slide-to-type enabled, then only the letter I press down on will highlight, and what shows up in the text input box is pretty inconsistent for horizontally adjacent letters.

#535It will be hard, but I’m transitioning out of Apple ecosystem regardless of whether they improve. Just like Windows 11, I get ads whether I want them or not - just got a push notification for a new financial product (!!!) despite going out of my way to opt out. iOS 26 made my 16 Pro, practically brand new, feel slow. I upgraded because my 13 mini was slow, and I chose Apple in the first place because they had some of…
> When I jump to Android I think garmin is probably the best choice, but maybe there are good wearables now. Unfortunately Android doesn’t have its act together re:built in health data database.
I have a Garmin Fenix 8 - the latest flagship. I love the look of the watch but it does not feel snappy to use in any way- significant lag after each button press. Not enough to make me immediately go back to an Apple Watch but I do miss the snappiness.
But the Connect app is actually pretty good in terms of a central place to look at the stats.

There are dozens of blog posts about this, and this one is trending on HN. Anyway, why are you so upset about this? Why are you calling my comment "nonsense" and obsessing over this counter? It's clearly having an effect on you, which was its purpose. Realistically, another post about Apple's borked keyboard should create zero emotional response, yet here we are.
I think you’re projecting. How is mentioning a counter once in one comment “obsessing”? I’m glad this post is getting traction, I’m pretty open about my disdain for Apple’s declining software quality and Tim Cook’s management, I welcome posts that shine more light on it. > Realistically, another post about Apple's borked keyboard should create zero emotional response Of course that is not true. That is trivial to dis…
The linked post is from two months ago.

I'm curious why my experience with Windows 11 is so different from what I regularly read. It was some years ago now, so I don't remember exactly what configuration steps I went through, but presumably I turned off ads when I first installed. And so, I don't get ads. I don't recall ever seeing an ad embedded in Windows. Are people talking about Edge (which I don't use) or inside the Microsoft Store (which I very rarel…
I've also never seen an ad in windows 11.
I did uninstall all of the weird apps like "News" "Weather" etc.

If your "friends" care enough about small stuff like that to cut you out of their conversations, they're not your friends.
You're misunderstanding the situation and reading malice into teenagers who are living in a world of decisions that were made before they were even born. It's not "small stuff", it's the entire medium through which the conversation happens. It's the entire thing. Do you "cut" your mom out of your group chats with your coworkers? Do you "cut" your coworkers out of intimate chats with your partners? Of course you do, b…
I am not misunderstanding the situation. If you omit me from a group message with our circle of friends because of the color of my speech bubble, you are not a real friend. Full stop.

#539I love the fervor with which this is written, but the threat is so weak I literally chuckled. Imagine your an exec or manager on the team for keyboard development. You read this, get to the end to discover the user is gonna switch devices for... 2 whole calander years? What's that amount to? Maybe 2 device upgrades on If your a die hard gotta have the newest latest model phone each year. Then what? you'll be back? Th…

#540@ozzyphantom: You might consider being more specific about your grievances in the text of your countdown page. As it stands, it's a bit vague, describing the keyboard as "broken" and autocorrect as "nearly useless". Sure, the video you link to is more descriptive, but it's a lot to ask of a visitor to click through and watch a separate video. As for the underlying issue, I have experienced similar typing issues on my…
It turns out he posted a better example in his blog post about it - https://thismightnotmatter.com/a-little-website-i-made-for-a... - which is technically linked to in the bottom of the site. I guess if you spend your life learning UX from Apple this is what you get...
Thats a pretty snarky thing to say about Apple. They were arguably the pioneers in OS UX... granted, its not the end all, be all, but still. You could do worse.
