‘The iOS Keyboard is Broken’

A short video demonstrating consistent typing errors when using the iOS keyboard is making the rounds in the Apple tech community. A lot of YouTube and social media comments are of the “OMG, so validating!” nature—a lot of people are reporting similar issues. I’ve certainly noticed an increase in typos over the years (which, for whatever reason, I attribute to Apple’s introduction of “differential privacy” in iOS 10). Alas (or perhaps, fortunately), while others can reproduce the specific issue shown the video, where typing “thumbs up” gives (for example) “thjmbs up,” I cannot.
