My Razer cam is great, but I’m not a huge fan of their branding/logo (glorious as well). Are there any third party apps that really showcase the dynamic island with the latest iPhones?

I used to love the heck out of the razer deathadder mouse, but the buttons start to have issues registering clicks after about 1-2 years. It is a very comfortable mouse but if I wanted something that broke constantly I could pay a lot less for the privilege. (so now we use the logitech clone of the deathadder and it's gone like four years with zero issues)

The Razer kishi controller is pretty ok tbh. The Razer Android handheld is a massive fuckin fail though.

How well does the iphone keyboard adapt to your typing over time? I've been on Android using SwiftKey since my last iphone, which was the 3g one way back when. For various reasons, I'm switching over to an iphone 14 pro. I love my ipad, but the keyboard has always been insanely bizarre on it and never really seemed to get better with my typing, plus it would do bizarre things like change "I went to the store" (typed correctly) to "I was to the store" or even more nonsensical than that. My friend swears up and down that her iphone doesn't do that and got used to her typing pretty quick, but it's the one thing I'm stressed about. Edit: I have looked at the custom autocorrects and they're all normal reasonable ones that I set, nobody is playing a prank on me, and it does the weird changes inconsistently anyways. ssb fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Mar 19, 2023 |

My screen area where the keyboard shows the backspace key has a distinct indentation.

Swipes are really good for longer blobs of text. It's scary good at getting the right word.. so good that when it fucks up you probably didn't notice because you just assumed it was the right thing. So it takes a little proofreading. Swipes are also good for shitposting with one hand while holding a messy burger in the other.

Mine corrected and to Andrew once I got the 12 mini. So I made a replacement rule but now I can’t type Andrew on the first try. It also capitalizes And for no reason a lot. I’ve cut all the Andrew’s out of my life over this but it still haunts me.

The only real adaptive learning I’ve noticed is that it automatically fully capitalizes HITMAN because I can’t stop posting about the award winning video game series.

I demand a "never autocorrect a correctly spelled word" option. That's the only thing I hate about typing on iPhone - sometimes I swear it randomly decides to get really aggressive with altering what you're typing.

Can apps disable autocorrect? I swear each app types differently. Clash of clans, back in the day, used to not correct anything. In the rare instance I’m typing something in the Reddit app, it goes full moron and autocorrects to the dumbest stuff, and won’t autocorrect simple typos.

Occasionally with Swype typing it’s actually correcting itself this way, but way too often it’s just making you retype what you just wrote.

You guys complain a lot lol. iPhone's sentence / word autocomplete is pretty clearly the best in the business or close to it. Is it perfect, nope. But it's kept me in the ecosystem like all the other nice little touches.

My experience with Gboard was a bit better, but when it began having issues (sometimes it would hang or not load at all; I’m guessing that was the OS’s fault) I decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. I also preferred how it handled spacebar text scrolling.

Gboard is such a piece of loving trash. It doesn't base its decisions on accuracy of finger placement at all, but on a crowd sourced statistical assumption of the most popular words based on a VERY wide area. I can't count the number of times it picks words that start with a letter my finger WASN'T EVEN ON DURING THE ENTIRE loving WORD SWIPE. The size of the keyboard doesn't even matter, either; it'll do the same poo poo on the iPad. It was good back in 2014-2017, and has only gone downhill since.

Google 's Swype/ autocorrect, on an Android device, is significantly more accurate. There are a ton of things where iOS is superior, but this is not one of them. The iOS keyboard is not great. Edit: For some reason GBoard sucks on iOS too. I'm guessing it's a permission / privacy thing.

Guess I will defer here, at least I haven’t had significant issues with iOS keyboard and it’s been smooth sailing. I tap most of the time but swiping works great too.

Yeah, I am a bit shocked about how poor word prediction is, especially given how impressive language prediction AIs are. SwiftKey almost 10 years ago could complete entire sentences it knew I often said without me ever hitting a letter. The iPhone keyboard is definitely good enough, and the blind type correction is solid so I’m happy with the rate I can type at; but word prediction is just awful. Not bad enough to outweigh the privacy implications of using a third-party keyboard, but bad. It left “third-patty” in the previous sentence so I had to stop and go back because it’s completely incapable (in my experience) of understanding hyphenated words. I really hope iOS 17 is nothing but improvements to existing features.

Aggressive autocorrect and really bad/nonexistent adaptive hit reg is the worst thing about the phone

It’s pretty widely considered that notifications and the keyboard are better on Android. I also think the way they handle settings is better as well - app settings shouldn’t be in the system settings like they are within iOS - you should be able to modify them from within the app it’s self.

SwiftKey has like 13+ years of learning from me and it's so good at correcting things I think I only have to fix what it's done on rare occasions. I don't even bother looking most of the time. Hopefully the iPhone will learn well enough or at least become predictable instead of changing grammatically sound constructs into gibberish fragments. I'm looking forward to trying an iPhone again regardless. I still like Android customizability and will miss it but too many things end up janky and I already have used ipads and MacBook pros the entire time.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:What does this mean? The phone in my experience is really bad at taking into account that when I type the word "that", I really don't mean to type "tgat", I mean to hit the "h" instead of the "g". The zones for hit detection (when I said "hit reg" that was short for "hit registration") on a key, from what I remember, dynamically change contextually based on what has just been typed, and yet it's still terrible at it. This is an old article about it: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/iphone-keyboard-learns-what-you-type-dynamically-resizes-key-hot-zones/ And here's an old video they used to have on their website about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPmVKyhyl9U It's possible they don't do this anymore, but it's still really annoying.

Normally using the hotspot, especially while also charging makes the phone burning hot but resting it on the stand keeps it perfectly cool. I have internet in my home, OP
