alt Hacker NewsI mean, their damn phone keyboards are so bad I'm 100% confident that Tim only does voice to text on his phone. There's no way that the CEO of a company could use a keyboard that horrible and not want to fix it.

It’s SO bad. It makes me not want to use my phone anymore and physically go get my laptop if I’m chatting/messaging someone.
It’s probably the worst typing experience I’ve had since resistive-touch screens on PDAs. At least with them you could still type what you intended to though, just slowly.
If Tim used speech to text we’d be at least testing SotA local voice models in the iOS betas
This, along with circle to search (for translating, mainly) are the current main things pushing me to stay on Android.
Most of my issues were fixed when I disabled swipe to type. Not all, but most.
In my experience iOS 26.4 did largely fix it btw. Update if you haven’t already.
Why are you paying money for something that you find so terrible when there is a perfectly good alternative.
Life is too short to waste is using junk you don’t enjoy.
The behavior of the iOS keyboard also showcases how there must not be many decision-making people who communicate in multiple languages.
