Tell HN: My 2016 iPhone SE is a living proof of iOS enshittification
The most clear-cut example for me is typing:
Typing and autocorrection work so much better, with autocorrect usually getting it right (across French and English) unlike on my latest iOS iPhone 12 which clearly "learns" progressively and ends up with a bunch of crazy suggestions after a month or so, forcing me to reset the custom dictionary.
I think this clearly due to latest iPhones using some local neural net (because the model can run that so why not) compared to older models’ simple, immutable, or very lightly fine-tunable, model.
