I swear Apple broke the iPhone keyboard permanently in like 2015. I don't know what it is, but I can't type reliably on any newer phone I've had, to the point where I call instead of texting. And the rare times I go back to use that iPhone 5 in my car for music, it's so easy to type, so I'm not just remembering wrongly.

And those screens were TINY so how can it now be worse?

I think one of the big issues is the autocorrect seems to make as many correctly typed words into random bullshit words as it does typos into correct words. So you feel like you’re walking on ice, just constantly monitoring what you last typed to make sure it didn’t make it into nonsense.

The old autocorrect didn't seem any better though. I actually disabled it on both, so narrowed it down to purely a keyboard issue.

The keyboard is still bad when you turn off autocorrect.
