iOS 17: What's New With Autocorrect, Dictation and the Keyboard

[Baywatchboy]

lol far from hurt. I just don’t spend my time complaining about features that iOS has that I don’t use lol. I personally couldn’t care less about apple health. I’m not going to complain about it being updated for those who do care. God forbid every feature not being for you. *clutches pearls*

Who complained? The only complaint around here is you complaining about my post. Have a blessed day.

I really, really dislike the new autocorrect. I hate the blue line correction the most, showing you when autocorrect has corrected a word that you’ve typed. Why do I care? I find it distracting. And there doesn’t appear to be a way to disable it. Sigh.

The line is so that you can type fast, then rapidly read what you typed and see if there's any weirdness where autocorrect did the wrong thing. The only alternative is to look up after every word you typed, to make sure that it's what you wanted.
I think its a great improvement but presumably if enough people hate it there will be a way to switch it off.

I read this is iPhone 12 and higher? Really? The iPhone 11 is not powerful enough to do autocorrect 2.0? Common.

I'm dumbfounded as well. The A13's neural engine is 8-core and can reportedly do 5 trillion operations per second. How can that not be enough? Are Apple's autocorrect ML models so impossibly demanding that they cannot work without the A14's twice-as-powerful 16-core neural engine?

Is there still no multi-punctuation key? You can't hold the period key to bring up question marks or exclamation points? Why is this basic feature still missing?

Here's the Pixel keyboard:

It does. Hold down 123 and it brings up all the punctuation. Just like holding down a Period. It works the same.

Great. But predictive typing is STILL not available for Czech language. Is that really that difficult to include such basic functionality that Android (and alternative keyboards) have for years? 😔
