alt Hacker News> The iOS keyboard has been broken since at least iOS 17...But I came crawling back to iOS because I'm weak and the orange iPhone was pretty
So the keyboard has been broken since iOS 17 (>2 years [1]), and to show your displeasure, you bought an iPhone Pro?
Your threat of leaving in 3 months rings hollow. All Apple has to do is verbally say things will get better and, if they can't even do that, you only commit to leaving for two years.
If you want to leave, just leave. I am confident that blue bubble pressure will exist in 3 months. I am also confident that the iPhone 18 Pro will be pretty. If a nice color and blue bubbles are enough to keep you in the iOS ecosystem today, why should anyone believe you will leave tomorrow?

> So the keyboard has been broken since iOS 17 (>2 years [1]). 2 years? How is this even possible? This is a major bug affecting more than 1 billion iPhone users and they did nothing? And even the Youtube video is from 3 months ago. This is insane. Why? Only sane reason I can think of is that they are from a satanic cult and deliberately torturing 1 billion people in subtle ways.
There are exactly two mainstream phone providers. Neither is perfect and there are heaps of tiny (fixable!!) annoyances in both.
I do not expect someone to be a “single issue voter” with regards to any one bug. There is significant friction in switching platforms and you are just as likely to be annoyed by something else in the competition.
