- Long-press a key to capitalize a letter.
- Text auto-correction that's customizable, predicable, deterministic, and easily undoable/re-doable.
- A dedicated widget for moving the cursor around and selecting text, without having to resort to complicated and unreliable gestures.
- Forward delete.
- The many keyboard commands/shortcuts for power users.
To type the letter in upper case, hold down the Shift key and move your finger over to the letter. Same thing with numbers and punctuation but hold down the Numbers key.
though recent ios update seems to have made it auto-highlight a word after moving. so for instance if i move the cursor up to start of sentence it will highlight the first word which is hard to deselect.
My iphone has so many features that I didn't know existed until someone showed me how to swipe (last one I learned, 3 finger swipe for 'undo', useful when I accidentally delete some text)

Without it you can hold on the space bar to enter a trackpad-type mode, but this is a poor substitute.
With 3D Touch, you could press a little harder than normal anywhere on the keyboard to enter the trackpad mode, but then you could press hard again to switch to word selection mode, which functioned much like a click-and-drag on a trackpad.
Very difficult to describe and admittedly very unintuitive, but once you got the muscle memory down it was so efficient.
I loathe the fact that everything that 3D Touch used to do has been replaced by a long press. Everything feels so sluggish now.
If someone produced a Q10 with fresher hardware and Android compatibility I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
