I'd have ridiculed this years ago, but with the way autocorrect randomly inserts ns for spaces in my messages I might have to play with one. It just clicks?!?!?

This iPhone keyboard … I’m intrigued but that’s gonna make a iPhone that’s just way way too big. And taking an iPhone in and out of a case for a keyboard? Nope. Hope it’s good for whoever gets one, but it doesn’t look like a practical product for me.

I have auto-correct turned off... but still often enough get words weirdly, inexplicably replaced (besides my own brain damaged, fairly frequent missed words, LOL). I do use SwiftKey though, which also has auto-correct turned off, so...

I do wonder a little if that's not also my brain damage playing tricks on me, LOL! :lol:

Interesting device but I can already see that it gets outdated with every new phone upgrade, though I need to do more reading on the product to see if it’s a one size fits all thing

Hard pass. I've been dictating most of my texts for awhile now. You still get errors but the time saved over manual typing more than makes up for the time I spend correcting them.

I haven't tried dictation (or Siri in general) much, but what little I've tried seems to leave waaay too much to desire... though it's probably been a good while since I've last tried (and I did finally, recently upgrade pass iOS 15.1.x or whatever it was), so maybe I should try again...

A friend used dictation for about a year, with ongoing hilarious results.

My brain doesn’t work that way so I don’t use dictation. And I’m too old to ever have been “native” with digital keyboards. So I’m stuck with error-riddled typing on my iPhone. :)
