Upgraded yesterday. I’m loving the improvements to the keyboard. The autocorrection is a lot, lot better. And I never get ducking now when I’m trying to write something else.

But the real new shift is resizable windows and such on ipadOS 17 and watchOS 10 looks really nice on my series 7.

Ha! I purposely change those words (duck, ducking, ducker etc) to sound less harsh. Still gets the point across to most people.

The keyboard is a huge improvement, much more accurate and easy to use

And yet I still can not get any of the more "advanced" features (like predictive text) for my native language keyboard.

It's been, what, at least five years(?) since predictive text was launched. I never expected to be the first to be supported, but starting to feel a bit ridiculous when some languages with a few tens of percents more speakers have had support from nearly the start.

Meanwhile third party keyboards have had support for ages. I'd rather use the stock keyboard, but can't bear it in its current state.

That’s great news and maybe the only reason I might upgrade. Ever since I went back to an iPhone I’ve had trouble with typing. I don’t know why but the Android keyboard was always much more accurate.

It’s the best keyboard upgrade in years. I’ve changed nothing about my typing and it’s far far more accurate. Not perfect but also not frustratingly bad. It’s very close to perfect.
