The keyboard and speech to text are getting notably worse and have been for years. I’ve been somewhat of an Apple defender over the years, but you are not imagining it. I’ve used androids and iPhones to compare them for accessibility purposes and the iPhone used to be significantly better. I keep my tech for as long as possible, but I’ve on more than one occasion thought about jumping ship just because the worsening text capabilities sometimes makes my phone unusable for basic communication purposes.
They trimmed a huge amount of terminology and an abundance of everyday words, and made it check grammar and punctuation despite the fact that it is objectively terrible at both. It is a fair bit worse now than 10 years ago.
Is yours ancient like mine? I thought the same but went into a shop and specifically tried the keyboard of a demo 17 and it worked as well as I recall it used to. Either that or we have the same disease. 50-50 at this point.
Damn well that dashes my hopes then. I’ll meet you in the retirement home early I guess. I’m running an XR in a perhaps bordering on excessive attempt to counter said yearly reup culture.
Is the keyboard on iOS getting worse every year or am I in the early stages of some horrific degenerative disease?

Is a 16 consdered ancient? I def know people who reup every year or two but that seems crazy wasteful.
