Problems typing on iOS7 iPhone keyboard?

Hello,

Does anybody else find that the iPhone keyboard with iOS7 is much less accurate to type with? If I am using apps that still use the iOS6 keyboard layout I can can type on my iPhone with about 99% accuracy and just get the very occasional mis-type. With the iOS7 keyboard, I probably get at best 60% accuracy.

Is this just me?

Or is there something wrong with the iOS7 keyboard?

Or is it simply that the 3D keyboard on iOS6 allowed for more accuracy?

YESSSS... FROM DAY ONE WHEN I STARTE BETA TESTING IOS 7... MY TYPING ERRORS HAVE INCREASED BY 70-80%... EVERYONE I KNOW HAS TROUBLE TYPING ON THE IOS 7 KEYBOARD... KEYS ARE WAY TOO SMALL... LETTERS ARE WAY TOO THIN... AND EVERYTHING IS SO TRANSLUCENT WITH ZERO CONTRAST CAUSING TYPING ERROS BACK TO BACK.

I AVOID TYPING ON IOS 7 LIKE THE PLAGU... WISH THERE WAS A SETTING THAT ALLOWED YOU TO MAKE THE KEYBOARD BIGGER OR SMALLER JUST LIKE THE DYNMAIC TEXT FEATURE! REGARDLESS... IT'S NOT YOU, ITS THE KEYBOARD OR LACK THERE OF!

I don't do that much typing but when I do, I don't notice any significant problems. I have seen threads here about a lag in typing. This can be helped by turning off documents and data in settings, iCloud and / or be resetting system settings.

I'm still having problems with iOS7 keyboard. It is definitely less accurate.

I'm also finding that the time-picker is a lot harder to use. The old iOS6 3-D time-picker was simple to use - nice and tactile, 3D gave obvious visual cues where to push/pull. The new "flat" time-picker is just not as easy to use in my view.
