I had an iPhone day 1 in 2007, and my typing on that day was better than it is today.

Once they added the suggestion bar above the keyboard things got noticeably worse. Every time they try to fix it they make it even worse than before.

With the current version, it’s not just the issue in the video I see as an issue. The two big problems I have are 1) repeated words, where I will type a word once, but auto-completion will inject another one. 2) The autocorrect will seemingly look at the whole paragraph I’m typing and change random words I typed several lines up and deemed correct. I will catch it doing this in real time, and sometimes it will flip a word back and forth repeatedly. I find I don’t just need to proofread while I’m typing, but also need to go through and re-read everything. It wasn’t always like this.

Maybe it’s my rose colored glasses, but I often think the iPhone peaked with the 4S.
