Notifications: You can slide down on, say, a text message notification to open a text box where you can immediately respond. Otherwise if the phone is locked you swipe, unlock the phone, and it takes you to the app. You can also swipe down from the top edge to get a list of recent notifications and things on your to-do list. Keyboard: Apple's autocorrect is actually really good for me. There are times where I have typed completely garbled things and it was able to figure out what I Was actually saying. You can also add third party keyboards if you want. You might think it works less than it does because of selection bias. Interface: whatever man. Background processes: Personal Hotspot is the only one that's been finicky for me, but usually other apps work fine in the background for me. For example, I'm usually able to get Reddit/Messenger notifications pretty quickly.
