One of the maxims I live my life by: You are more likely to benefit from not being the first to adopt something new than to be disadvantaged by being second.
It's a tech demo. Let us treat it as one. For faces, skin, and hair (so everything human) I personally dislike the direction. But for environment, props, and especially lighting, it's quite nice!
I too struggled with the keyboard, especially since iOS 26. I then tried to DEACTIVATE ALL keyboard "features", so:
- NO auto-corr
- NO predictive text
- NO check spelling
- NO char preview
- NO feedback
- NO sound
- NO auto-cap
- NO smart punctuation
- NO slide to type
- NO everything
And this ABSOLUTELY solved my problems with the iOS keyboard. Yes, I do mistype from time to time. But that is in no relation to how it was with all those features…
Me too. Unfortunately, it seems Silvio has abandoned further development. There are some truly annoying bugs (YouTube embeds do not work, swipe gestures stopped working, iOS images are slightly cut off,…) :( But I tried all alternatives and can't make the transition after idk, 8 years…
