Typing and editing text in iOS 13.1.2

Why has apple adopted a more android style text editing format? I’m so used to editing text quickly the “Apple way” that now it’s changed, editing misspelled words or adding in a space between words has become a chore.

For example,

editing the “b” out of “thanbks” is allot harder. Before I would just press on the screen and move the cursor to the “b” then backspace but now trying to get the cursor to go there without it highlighting the whole word or highlighting a whole bunch of text is tricky. Then, trying to get it to deselect all the mistakenly highlighted text is an extra farce! I’ve tried light touching, pressing hard etc and it’s basically impossible to edit these types of mistakes without deleting the whole word and starting again.

Anyone else noticed this since the update?
