Forget listening to feedback from consumers. How about all the Apple employees who use iPhones? I don’t understand why most of them haven’t spammed Tim Cook about how awful the iPhone keyboard prediction/autocorrect is. Is Tim Cook not doing his job as a CEO by refusing to properly fund and focus on AI and crippling the iPhone in the process?
- jxramos 4y agohonestly I think because they're all forced to live on the devices they develop they simply haven't had a need to be exposed to competitors and assume no one else has solved the problem to a high degree of satisfaction. When I worked there folks thought I was crazy for wanting to keep my android device around even when I just used it for email and browsing. Android keyboard was a magically intelligent thing with all sorts of forward and backward typo clustering and tries all working in concert in this very smooth operation that could get itself out of a deep typo run and come out very correct. The android keyboard seemed to be aware of key proximity in 2D space on the keyboard, dictionary words, words I frequently typed, words I frequently blunder on, words that pair frequently with each other, etc etc. The sheer number of dimensions the android keyboard considers is impressive, iOS keyboard feels like a simpleton by comparison.

Nobody is ‘crippling’ anything and nothing is ‘awful’. It’s okay, it’s good enough, it’s much better than what preceded it, it looks like magic and it’s here, in a device you can hold in your hand.
