But I also think having this many keyboards enabled makes iOS basically throw up its tiny virtual hands in frustration and nullifies most fancy predictions.

(This was mostly swiped in on an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 26 with very minor hiccups)

Why would it go from what felt like a predictable error to what feels like someone moving the keys around? I am guessing someone presented aggregate research that showed higher accuracy overall, but ignored the case that the errors feel like the voices are getting louder :D.

Hopefully they come up with a setting to change this, but knowing apple it probably won't happen. Is it time for custom keyboards to come back?

Say I accidentally typed ebit instead of edit.

In android it is as easy as clicking on the letter “b” and backspace then correct it to “d”

In ios, I have to long press the space key to move around and or do some circus to edit it.

I don’t understand why Apple does this.
