I feel that the Apple keyboard was always significantly worse than the competition, whether it be GBoard or Swype (that MSFT eventually purchased).

Whenever I see my friends type on an iPhone I feel vicarious pain.

They're all awful. The third party ones are data loggers ans require retraining your typing, and the first party auto correct is terrible on both (and slightly more terrible on Apple).

I disabled autocorrect years ago, and every time I use someone elses phone I can't understand how they function.

I am slower at typing on my iPhone than I was at using a Handspring Visor with Grafiti. I miss the old days.

I think you mean SwiftKey.

Sorry, yes. That's what I meant. Too late to edit :(
