Yeah, a lot of people talk about how bad the keyboard is, but I don't see a lot of examples. When people do give examples — or at least this has been my experience — it's often replied to with "well it works on my end". I think we can all agree the iOS keyboard is shit. And I think anyone who uses both iPhone and Android (Gboard) recognises that the Android keyboards don't go as hard on the censorship/autocorrect as iOS does. The iOS keyboard takes the same "the user is an idiot" philosophy the OS itself tends to take. Yeah, I'm a techie who uses an iPhone, I wouldn't call myself dumb (though I can list a lot of smart things I don't know, like programming, and networking, and many sciences)... but I like iPhone because it's dumb and simple. I recommend it to people who want their phone to be easy, which is a big plus if you work in tech. My Android phone is confusing to people. I do weird shit with it. I use a launcher that doesn't resemble other launchers. You swipe down for the app drawer and up for widgets (I could reverse this but that is how it acts by default). It's got a weird name, and it's kinda inspired by iOS/macOS Spotlight. Can't be arsed to remember the name right now and the phone is off.
