I switched over to Dvorak 20 years ago on the keyboard to the point where I cannot type on a qwerty keyboard at all anymore (If I'm forced to, I hunt & peck really slowly). When the first iPhone came out, it was no problem at all because typing with two thumbs was just an entirely different experience and my mind didn't really conflate the two. I just tried this dvorak keyboard, and it's like switching to dvorak 20 years ago — it's hard. The backspace in a completely different position doesn't help at all either.

Agreed, the new position for the delete key is the biggest barrier for me. But in general it’s surprising how much muscle memory I have for QWERTY on the phone. I’ve been a Dvorak user since 1996, but I didn’t last 5 minutes with Dvorak on iOS.
