Apple's keyboards have keys marked delete or a symbol where other keyboards have keys marked backspace, delete, or a symbol. Their utility was the same in my experience. What obvious difference did I not see?
For a long time Apple had keyboards with only delete (delete the character at or in front of the cursor) and not backspace (delete the character before the cursor).

Yep. Lots of things are supported: https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12060038 Anything with a bar code or QR code will work. It's not complicated.
I switched to Android for a year last year and moving back to iOS was really painful. A lot of things make so much more sense in Android. I really miss being able to manage notifications granularly directly from the notifications for example, or quickly copy/paste many previous things from my clipboard directly from the keyboard, but what I miss the most is the AI integration, using AI is so painful on iOS

I saw or heard this never. This was when?

There's also no way to go to the wallet from the actual shortcut screen you most commonly use (the double-click power one)
Wait, what? Double-clicking will prompt for Face ID to open your default card for oayment, and from there you swipe down to see the stack — which I suppose is the screen you’re looking for.
15 years ago, a friend of mine built an app to do this — "Pass Creator" — then Apple yanked the functionality. He paid me to create the icon for it, which was my first paid graphic design job: https://www.noio.nl/2012/10/pass-creator-app-icon/ Thanks Paul.. good times!

What does an 80 year old (or anyone really) need with more than one or two cards on a daily basis where this would be an issue? Not being flippant; I legit want to know what leads to this. I have multiple cards but there's only one I use 99% of the time, and it's pink so it stands out.
Some banks have their debit and credit cards almost identical. You may have multiple cards from the same bank (personal, family, business). Different cash back from the same bank making you want to use one card over another.
Apparently an accessibility thing and maybe a wider standard than Mastercard. See image of cards near top of https://www.mastercard.com.au/en-au/personal/find-a-card/tou...

bombcar said some Apple keyboards had a delete key which did not delete the character before the cursor and not a key which deleted the character before the cursor.
The 1st page showed Apple's keyboards had keys marked delete or a symbol where other keyboards had keys marked backspace, delete, or a symbol. The 2nd page was disordered slop but said Apple keyboards' delete and other keyboards' backspace had the same function. The 3rd page said Apple keyboards had the key bombcar said not and not the key bombcar said they had.

I barely look at notifications anymore, it’s useless, does not group by app, can’t take any actions from there. Even if you open the app, the notification remains, so it’s just clutter at this point.
Clipboard does not exist.
Chrome sometimes when opened, opens up the address bar and there is no close button, I need to navigate away from the page I was on, or refresh. So I switched to safari, good job google.
The biggest annoyance would be the back button or rather the lack of it. Every app does it somewhere different. It could be a left swipe in some apps, a back button on top left, a tick box on top right. There is no mental model you can rely on.
Then I realized I am using it wrong. iPhones were never made for people like you or me. We just wants to finish our work as soon as possible. We zoom through multiple apps and get things done. iOS is for toddlers/old people and technologically challenged crowd. We need to think like them.
So I treat the notification shade just like other users, glance and ignore. No need to manage it or clear it.
Clipboard are needed when you copy multiple things. That’s because you want to paste multiple things. You are trying to do too much at the same time. Think of the most “simplest” person you know, they wouldn’t do what you’re doing. So I stopped doing that.
Back button was only an annoyance when I either used non-apple apps or do things fast. Again doing things fast is not what your simple friend would do. They would take time and each action, press, swipe would be deliberate, not careful yet confused.
Basically stop trying to be a smart person while using an iPhone. You might be a wizard in front of a terminal. iOS is designed for a large and specific set of audience and I truly respect Apple for catering to them. Most corporations like Google or Microsoft will try to teach their users and make them something they are not. Apple accepts them as they are.
This comment has a lot of grammar mistakes which I am frankly not going to fix. The apple keyboard is terrible to go in between words and sentences to edit them. But the target audience would never do it anyway and Apple proudly supports their decision by not improving the keyboard. I think that’s a noble thing to do.

My 1st comment said Apple's keyboards have keys marked delete or a symbol where other keyboards have keys marked backspace, delete, or a symbol. And these keys had the same utility. bombcar said some Apple keyboards had a delete key which did not delete the character before the cursor and not a key which deleted the character before the cursor. The 1st page showed Apple's keyboards had keys marked delete or a symbol…
Some try to explain this as an effort to save precious space but this doesn't quite add up since they also added a whole row of superfluous and unique "junk" keys as shown in the first link straight from the source.
