I’ve an old iPod touch from 2010 knocking about still. The kids play local music on it and mess about with its camera. It’s not connected to the internet. The battery is not up to much anymore but it works incredibly well still.
I’m shocked by how much better the keyboard experience is on it compared to my iPhone 11 Pro. Typing just feels accurate. I’m constantly mistyping on my iPhone and it always autocorrects the most basic typos to some random capitalised name or bizzare word. It’s infuriating.

- kahnclusions 4y agoYou’re not alone. I am utterly baffled and infuriated with typing on my iPhone 12 Pro. I used to think typing on old iPhones was amazing. But over the past several years there is a noticeable decline. It constantly makes the most bizarre and unhelpful corrections.
- geysersam 4y agoCan you not install alternative keyboard apps on iPhones?
- IndySun 4y agoYes. Search T9.
- djxfade 4y agoYes you can
- kahnclusions 4y agoBut they’re glitchy and sometimes slow to open (I presume because they’re trying to access the network)
- ihatepython 4y agoThe situation should improve, now that ChatGPT has been released. It's only a matter of time until it gets integrated with the keyboard.
- SimDeBeau 4y agoPerhaps the reason they keyboard feels worse is the keyboard getting too “smart” already rather than being too dumb. But could also be an uncanny valley style curve, where “a little bit smart” is worse than both dumb and very smart.
- shusaku 4y agoI was glad to read this, I feel the same. Deep down I’ve been dreading that the cause is just me getting old…
