I mean, their damn phone keyboards are so bad I'm 100% confident that Tim only does voice to text on his phone. There's no way that the CEO of a company could use a keyboard that horrible and not want to fix it.
- sen 6mo agoIt’s SO bad. It makes me not want to use my phone anymore and physically go get my laptop if I’m chatting/messaging someone. It’s probably the worst typing experience I’ve had since resistive-touch screens on PDAs. At least with them you could still type what you intended to though, just slowly.
- fizwidget 6mo agoIn my experience iOS 26.4 did largely fix it btw. Update if you haven’t already.
- ryanmcbride 6mo agoI'm on 26.4 on a brand new 17 Pro Max, recently upgraded from a 13 Pro Max, and I have noticed absolutely no difference in the keyboard. It's still awful.
- niij 6mo agoBut then you'd have to upgrade past 18, meaning the liquid glass abomination.
- Barbing 6mo agowas only dumb for a month or few, now that it's max blacked out as best it can be I can redirect my focus... and be annoyed by the STUPID hiding bottom menus like in Photos. Literally ZERO times did I complain I was missing seven pixels of "real estate", thanks Apple, love the extra tap to see what I need (to be clear, only sign on iOS 26, NOT macOS 26)
- JoeBOFH 6mo agoMost of my issues were fixed when I disabled swipe to type. Not all, but most.
- ryanmcbride 6mo agoI've heard this advice before and I've tried it, and I really didn't notice a difference. I also, unfortunately, use swipe to type a lot. If I'm typing one handed I'm pretty much always using swipe. Sure it barely works, but that's the same as if I was typing normally so feels like a wash.
- u_fucking_dork 6mo agoKeyboard works fine. Always has. iPhone just has so many users that there's going to be a plethora of passionate unpleasable nerds for every single facet of it. Even in your ideal virtual keyboard version, there was an army of people complaining that it wasn't a hardware keyboard.
- ryanmcbride 6mo agookay.
- jbverschoor 6mo agoNo it doesn’t. It did work fine before. But I had to swipe 3 times to get “fine” instead of “going” just now
- u_fucking_dork 6mo agoFine fine fine seems to be working fine with swipe and normal, idk dude, maybe y'all are just aging ungracefully
- Forgeties79 6mo agoI’ve never really disliked the keyboard. I’m not entirely sure what they’re talking about. That being said I’ve never used swipe to text so maybe that factors in, or never having had a smartphone other than an iPhone.
- Barbing 6mo agoIf Tim used speech to text we’d be at least testing SotA local voice models in the iOS betas
- ryanmcbride 6mo agoStarting to wonder what he DOES use. I guess just the cameras since they seem to be the only things that change.
- llbbdd 6mo agoHe's a gazillionaire, he has people to interact with phones for him
- Barbing 6mo agoBut how to become a 2-gazillionaire, or even reach 3 gazillion, without feedback loops? I guess it doesn't matter, or not enough to forfeit competing opportunities. If we deal with bugs so they could build the Neo maybe it's OK.
- testing22321 6mo agoWhy are you paying money for something that you find so terrible when there is a perfectly good alternative. Life is too short to waste is using junk you don’t enjoy.
- kinematikk 6mo agoWhats the alternative? Android not, because it's absolutely not perfectly good
- vvillena 6mo agoThe behavior of the iOS keyboard also showcases how there must not be many decision-making people who communicate in multiple languages.
- jurplel 6mo agoThis, along with circle to search (for translating, mainly) are the current main things pushing me to stay on Android.
