iOS’s automatic text correction is atrocious. It is one glaring issue that seems completely ignored. I do not know what the answer is, but this isn’t it. I miss the OG swype keyboard I used exclusively before moving to iOS. That was, for me, absolutely the hardest part of transitioning from Android to iOS.

The best alarm app I’ve found is called Alarmy. I’ve used the app for at least 7-8 years at this point. I used it on android before switching to iPhone back in 2017. It’s worth checking out.

This is not a universal experience. I had an 11 Pro for about 2.5 years. I just moved into a 14 PM. Pictures are great in my experience. I’ve not taken a ton yet, but the initial ones are absolutely fine. I would hope/expect with all the negative feedback they are getting regarding the post processing that they will be gradually improving it over the next year or so in the updates.

I’ve tried swiftkey in the past. It’s decent, but not as good as Swype was. I was using gboard almost exclusively until iOS integrated swiping in their default keyboard. When I first moved to iOS, you were still forced to use the default keyboard for any passwords/etc. I found that extremely frustrating, once it was built into the default keyboard I just started using it and have stuck with it. The default keyboard, at this point, isn’t awful but the predictive text/autocorrect is truly bad.
Back in the day with Swype, you could pick from multiple keyboard layouts. You could also customize colors and it built up a library of words you would use often. The autocorrect was actually a benefit. iOS will simply change your entire sentence if you aren’t careful. I find that I often have to reread my text input sometimes twice to confirm I’ve typed what I actually intended.
