I 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.
The behavior of the iOS keyboard also showcases how there must not be many decision-making people who communicate in multiple languages.
If Tim used speech to text we’d be at least testing SotA local voice models in the iOS betas
Starting to wonder what he DOES use. I guess just the cameras since they seem to be the only things that change.
He's a gazillionaire, he has people to interact with phones for him

Most of my issues were fixed when I disabled swipe to type. Not all, but most.
I've heard this advice before and I've tried it, and I really didn't notice a difference. I also, unfortunately, use swipe to type a lot. If I'm typing one handed I'm pretty much always using swipe. Sure it barely works, but that's the same as if I was typing normally so feels like a wash.
Keyboard works fine. Always has. iPhone just has so many users that there's going to be a plethora of passionate unpleasable nerds for every single facet of it. Even in your ideal virtual keyboard version, there was an army of people complaining that it wasn't a hardware keyboard.

In case anyone else is going crazy trying to find this setting, it’s called slide to type
AHH thank you!!
This, along with circle to search (for translating, mainly) are the current main things pushing me to stay on Android.
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.
Whats the alternative? Android not, because it's absolutely not perfectly good
In my experience iOS 26.4 did largely fix it btw. Update if you haven’t already.
I'm on 26.4 on a brand new 17 Pro Max, recently upgraded from a 13 Pro Max, and I have noticed absolutely no difference in the keyboard. It's still awful.
But then you'd have to upgrade past 18, meaning the liquid glass abomination.
was only dumb for a month or few, now that it's max blacked out as best it can be I can redirect my focus... and be annoyed by the STUPID hiding bottom menus like in Photos.
Literally ZERO times did I complain I was missing seven pixels of "real estate", thanks Apple, love the extra tap to see what I need
(to be clear, only sign on iOS 26, NOT macOS 26)
