The autocorrect performance differs between apps. At first I thought it was better for apple apps and everyone else got a downgraded performance but I get 100% correct in Microsoft apps like Words and Outlook, even with lazy dragging, and typing the same stuff in other apps gives me poor results.

That’s not something I’ve considered much. Seems like the keyboard has been consistently an issue regardless of the app, but maybe I’m not paying as close attention to it.

You get downvoted because it’s not true. Apple doesn’t allow individual apps to change the keyboard autocorrect.

You're probably wrong there

I’m not. I’ve made plenty of iOS apps and it’s not possible, trust me.

It's not possible for you. I wouldn't honestly put anything past Apple.

Other apps don’t get special permissions to do things to your phone.

I’d bet Apple’s own apps do. Don’t know for sure but I think it’s a safe assumption to make.

That’s apples own apps. You were talking about non-apple apps

I, in fact, was not. I said *you * couldn’t. But Apple probably can.

Have you considered that even if your premise is true, the keyboard can still behave differently between apple apps and non apple apps. Let's say non apple gets the standard unmodifiable keyboard that you speak of and apple do some invisible to the dev/phone user enhancements to the input behind the scenes in their apps thinking they're making it better and it's these enhancements that fuck up the experience while everyone else gets plain old unvarnished text. As a swipe to type user non apple apps subjectively give a better experience.
