A bit of a tangent but you reminded me-- and maybe, I'm totally full of shit or like my memory is wrong, but the iPhone predicting profanity was my favorite feature. For YEARS it would never write "duck" instead of "fuck," and generally was great, but then (and this is the like maybe I'm totally wrong part) after Jobs passed away that stopped completely... and now I get this bullshit I have to fucking correct all the time (I have had to set up shortcuts to prevent it from fixing my profanity). I can't imagine Jobs putting up with trying to swear at someone over text and repeatedly getting "ducking."

iOS autocorrect has always been terrible, it’s not exclusive to profanity. Both in terms of its performance and experience. Its incredibly frustrating to use when it autocorrects words 3-4 words later, and navigating text fields has become significantly more difficult on recent versions of iOS. Android is the superior experience in almost every UX category imo, and text handling is the best example of that. sent from my iPhone.

  For the life of me I cannot get “may” to stop autocorrecting to “May”

      you have to type "exit" after you're done. you may have to do it a few times before it works.

  Yeah, the whole "replace a block of text" auto-correct can be a fucking nightmare, but I personaly haven't had bad performance. Maybe I'm just not remembering it... or I'm not thinking of all the uses cases. On Android the latency of the screen has always bothered me when typing so much I can't notice anything else, but I haven't had a high-end Android device in years where that could be remedied (I was very tempted by the OnePlus 7 but didn't want to fork over the cash just to try).

Jobs had quite the puritanical streak when it came to his products.

  That seems to contradict what rubyn00bie said. Or are you using puritanical to mean something else?
