Is It Me, or Is the iPhone's Autocorrect Getting Worse?
Got an iPhone 11 that I hate. 7+ was the peak. Everything since then has been a downgrade. The icing on the cake is the autocorrection feature, which seems to be growing more and more stupid as time goes on.
To whit, typing in sentences to the phone is already a PITA, but typing something like, "I'm going to pay it off" generates "I'm going to off off" because O was hit instead of I (which is a separate screen-related issue I don't care about because I hate this phone). So Apple algorithms focus on autocorrecting to words that have more letters and doesn't even bother with grammar.
WITHOUT GRAMMATICAL CORRECTION, AUTOCORRECT IS USELESS.
Period.
There are much more egregious examples I can give (such as aboit becoming Adverse instead of "about"). Yeah, I get that we can customize the dictionaries. However, it's an uphill battle since the algorithms keep getting dumber and dumber. SIRI has been rendered absolutely worthless as a result of Apple's "improvements," and has lost any amusement value as she now operates as a brain-dead waste of CPU resources.
If you're not going to improve the grammar rules algorithms, what is the point of even offering autocorrect? No one is trying to correct not only their own typing, but the absolute crap-tier "corrections" of the algorithms for autocorrect as well. That's twice as much headache and makes using the phone an absolute nightmare for anything where Apple's autocorrect algorithms are allowed to operate.
How about instead of trying to wow us with 5G crap that no one wants (despite all your marketing efforts to convince us otherwise) you start working on improving user experience? As it stands right now, I do not recommend Apple to anyone anymore because of how bad my experiences have been, and Android sucks just as hard.
