I can’t be the only one who noticed.
No matter the model. It’s a pain to write with it. Writing faster or correcting longer words totally drives it nuts.
It’s slow, not precise and just not clever.

#2Having lag trouble? Mine had been getting worse and worse, so today I finally reset my phone. No issues at all now. (issues included delays in opening messages, delays in characters appearing in the text box after attempting to type on the keyboard, and delays in responding after the send button was pressed)
If autocorrect is being trouble, you can always reset your autocorrect dictionary - it seems to get into bad habits sometimes.

#3Yes. I had previously wondered if iOS keyboard usage could be used to track cognitive decline in Health, but the keyboard is declining faster than I am.

The auto learning black box is an idiotic idea.

#5Because Apple’s monopoly position in mobile means the company doesn’t have to keep you happy to keep you as a customer. What about android you say? Apple has been able to achieve customer lock-in which gives them a de facto monopoly because the barrier to quitting is too high.
Complain to the FTC and your state’s attorney general. Apple needs a slap or else they’ll keep using anticompetitive practices to keep customers even when they don’t have the best product or the best price.

#6Are you sure your fingers are not getting fatter? That is what I assumed, but I have gained over a hundred pounds.

#7I have the same feeling, back in the iPhone 5 and 5S days I used to be able to type very fast with hardly any typos, now I type slower and make more typos. I weigh the same (I even lost some weight I had gained during the COVID era). The two things that have changed are the screen size and the version of iOS.
I have never had autocorrect on. My guess is that iOS is somehow trying to be more clever than me and slightly shifts the keys' hitboxes in a poor attempt to overcompensate for what it thinks is my fingers' clumsiness.

Touch used to be highly precise overall. I used to be able to click on very small text in Safari with earlier version of iOS. It's not just the keyboard.

I feel like this happens to me regularly. I thought I was loosing my mind.

#10I thought it was just me. Seems like the keyboard is more difficult to use with each update.
