That's the thing. Android is equally bad in their own idiosyncratic ways. Or actually worse if you factor in stuff like Google tracks everything you do or don't do on the phone or while having the phone on you and sells/exposes those trackings to advertisers, even when you explicitly ask it to not do that. Its distractive design is by design. If you are going to change the iOS just for the keyboard (and yeah it's key…
I really wish someone could start a legitimate competitor to Apple. They are so bloated and just squeezing service revenue out of us. The M chips are great but the software is so buggy.
That competitor is GrapheneOS. For now, the OS runs on Pixel phones only, but they plan to release their own phone in partnership with an OEM. I expect that this will easily be the most secure and privacy respecting phone out there when it releases. You get more or less 100% Android compatibility except for a handful of apps that enforce the Play Integrity cancer.
I almost switched to pixel before getting my new 17 pro max. I feel like im just constantly fighting the ios keyboard or having to type so slowly and carefully but it still is screwing up. I have a pixel 8a and Im shocked how quickly I can type on it while constantly tip toeing and fighting the ios keyboard. It's ironic because my first iphone i used was a 4s and i was pleasantly surprised how nice it was to type on…
Android: Here's the phone; knock yourself out Apple: Father knows best (but Father is getting old and sometimes forgets things) Windows: If only we understood what the ancestors knew
More like: Apple: Father died a while back, but Step-Father is here now and he doesn't love you.

I'm typing this disagreement to your statement on a touchscreen with fingernails only
Did you use metallic nail polish? Or is your skin just barely not making contact with the screen?

I see where you’re coming from, this was an impulsive creation after months/years of frustration without any expectations. For anyone curious of my experience here are my main pain points: - autocorrect failing to correct minor mistakes - autocorrect “correcting” a mistake with another mistake - autocorrect “correcting” correctly typed words - swipe to type is painfully behind Gboard (third-party keyboards are univer…
My fav is when iOS autocorrect corrects me AFTER pressing send.
there must be some kind of event trigger on text focus being removed or keyboard hiding that does that... ughhhh

This new keyboard is revolutionary. It's not just an improvement in the way you will type. It's an entirely new way of expressing yourself.
This new keyboard is revolutionary. It's not just an improvement in the way you will type — it's an entirely new way of expressing yourself. Works better with an em-dash to make it feel more like today's default ChatGPT style.

lol, no, they sucked even more in the 1980s. Did you ever notice that "About this software" is the first thing on the first menu of every application? Is that because people have to know what version of the software they are using every time they start it? It's still like that today, and it's very very stupid. Other OSs get it right and put the version information on the last menu, where it doesn't clutter up the mos…
What makes you think the first menu is one of the most used menus?
