Deadline: end of WWDC 2026. The exact dates haven’t been announced yet
and this timer is based on the estimated schedule (June 9–13).
I’ll update it when Apple confirms the dates. They have until the
conference ends.
The iOS keyboard has been broken since at least iOS 17 and it’s
somehow only gotten worse. iOS 26 has been my breaking point.
Autocorrect is nearly useless and often hostile, that part I’m used
to. But now the correctly tapped letters aren’t even registering
correctly.
This isn’t just me.
- Autocorrect fails to correct minor mistakes
- Autocorrect “correcting” a mistake with another mistake
- Autocorrect “correcting” correctly typed words
- Swipe to type is painfully behind Gboard (third-party keyboards are universally under-supported and inferior to Android equivalents)
- “Select All” is often hidden away
- Selecting text in general is a pain
- Keyboard seems to run out of steam after hitting an arbitrary word count in apps like Notes or iMessage and takes forever to register taps
- Key taps register incorrectly: clearly tapping one letter but a different letter is entered (hot spots poorly calibrated), or a correctly tapped letter (keyboard highlight confirms it) but an incorrect letter is rendered
iOS has bugs across the whole ecosystem. But having the keyboard,
the thing I interact with hundreds of times a day on my primary
device, get progressively worse with every update is absolutely
maddening.
I randomly tried Android again for a few months last spring. Using a
functioning keyboard was revelatory. But I came crawling back to iOS
because I’m weak and the orange iPhone was pretty and the Pixel 10
was boring and I caved to the blue bubble pressure. But the keyboard
on this beautiful phone is worse than ever.
So here’s the deal, Apple, if that’s even your real name: fix this
broken keyboard, or at the very least publicly
acknowledge it’s broken and commit to fixing it in iOS 27
or earlier. If that countdown hits zero without either of those
things happening, I’m switching to Android for good. (Good = at
least 2 calendar years)
I know losing one customer means absolutely nothing to your bottom
line. But I’d like to think it should mean something to the
engineers, UX designers, product people, and whoever else had a hand
in building this thing.
You were the “it just works” company. Now you’re just a fruit that
I used to know.
