Is Apple going to fix autocorrect in iOS 5?

Please tell me that Apple is going to fix autocorrect in iOS 5. it is the most intrusive, counterintuitive implementation I have ever seen. Users should not have to tap to stop an autocorrection. They should be able to select from a suggested list and if they don't, no changes should be made. I spend more time fighting with it that I finally turned it off. The sucky part is that if you turn off autocorrect, you also lose spellcheck. That makes no sense.

This is one area where Apple can take a lesson from Android. Even Blackberry does a better job and provides custom autotext. This is the only feature on my iPad I truly dislike.

Please fix it.

Regards,

Rob

None of us would know. We're just users and while there are users with beta versions of iOS5, they are bound by non-disclosure to not discuss anything related to the new OS.

You are right, but trust me... They watch these forums to take our temperature. :)

Perhaps they do, but if you really want Apple to hear you, it's better to write them directly. There are forum moderators who read these posts, just to make sure no one is violating forum rules. To write Apple directly, use this URL.....http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
