I agree. I got really excited about the keyboard thing (when I edit code on my phone, proper cursor movement is severely lacking), but when I tried it on a friend's 6S I was severely underwhelmed. The activation force seemed random, and the cursor would never land where you expected. It was slower than using the little magnifying glass on the actual text.
Touch keyboards are a hard problem, but we use them so often (I'm using one now) that I think Apple would be smart to put some more thought into it.
- xzi 11y agoThat's an accurate assessment. I use the trackpad on my 6s+ frequently. 50% of the time it works perfectly. 50% of the time I apparently don't lift my finger in the speed or direction iOS expects, so the cursor moves forwards or backwards 1 or 2 characters from where I wanted it to stop. And I have to try again because there's no other way to nudge the cursor a character or two. Just a little tweaking and it would be perfect. I don't have this problem with using the keyboard normally, which is quite accurate.
- 0942v8653 11y agoI just looked at the changelog for iOS 9.3 and it says: > Improves reliability when using 3D Touch on the keyboard Hopefully this means "just a little tweaking" was done and the feature is more comfortable to use.
