Despite all complaints about how bad the iPhone keyboard is, I always find it decent enough for my usage. I’ve been used to it that I encounter almost no problem at all to type on iPhone ever since I got one.

But since around IOS 17, the keyboard starts lagging if I type slightly too fast. Knowing how much functionality the iPhone keyboard lacks, i always type fast to compensate for it and that’s why I never really have a problem with it, because that’s what my muscle memories have grown used to. Until recently.

Now my keyboard just lags ALL THE TIME. I literally can’t type anything more than 3 sentences without having to wait for the letters to catch up with what’s being put in.

It drives me crazy tbh, and seems like not many people really care about this problem. It seems like a negligible issue for some, but to me that’s just so frustrating, considering I use the keyboard a lot (well, most people do I suppose). I’ve learned to adapt with what’s already bad and now it just get even worse.

Now I’m using SwiftKey, which I never thought I have to, but yeah. I’ll wait until they finally fix the keyboard lag, and not to mention other issues that’ve been there for a while (typing sound suddenly gets so loud, notifications lagging).
