Android keyboards will make you return to iOS in less than a week

oh all this time I thought it was me...

If only there were a viable third option besides Apple and the world's largest advertising company.

"We want to surprise and delight our customers" turned into fuck with and frustrate.

The Password Autofill features are all premature and broken. In Safari & Apps, the autofill prompt doesn't show, or it will show once and never again. Manual autofill trigger fails, and negotiating autofill providers is premature.

The other big area is Autocomplete & Autofill while using external keyboard. There is no control over autocomplete except for CAPSLOCK. correcting autocomplete leads to autocomplete re-complete infinite loop.

I could go on for another 6-10 bugs but just want to highlight your great work and that autocomplete is an entire category of keyboard bugs on iOS / iPadOS

The website sucks because I had to do work to understand the problem.

HOWEVER, the bug is interesting.

I can't reproduce this bug, but I have a suspicion as to what it is. As pointed out in the linked video the hitbox for buttons changes size based on predicted next letters.

The hitboxes are dynamic based on the most likley next letter. But that changes depends on your typing style. For example my real name is similar but not the same to a common english name. however both auto correct and the dynmaic hitbox allows me to reliably type my name, now.

This took time, but when I recently got a new work phone, I had to train it to accept my name.

TLDR: I don't think its a bug, I think its a learnt behaviour based on your most common words.

I keep an iPhone SE 1st gen as a secondary phone. It still has the last best keyboard iOS had. Almost zero mistakes. Probably because no AI and other overoptimizitation BS. Every time I go back to my primary 13 I want to cry.

don't panic, he's bluffing

What’s really disappointing is that Apple is making money hand over fist, and yet they seemingly make so little effort. Please Apple, for the love of all that is holy, fix cmd-tab, Ctrl-tab, and desktops on the Mac.
