I don’t think the keyboard is any more broken than it has ever been. It works pretty well for me aside from its awful, awful repeated "corrections" it applies, I delete and it reapplies. This is not new at all.

There are a lot of broken things in iOS, just try any apps in landscape and you'll wonder if QA even realizes the iPhone has landscape.

Someone actually took the effort to make a video to show how broken it is, it’s worth a watch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hksVvXONrIo

It’s only 2 min 24 sec.

I know the video, again it doesn't matter. I speed type on my phone exactly the same way I used to. I understand how autocorrect works and that it retroactively fixes multiple words later on. I typed this whole comment on my iPhone and I encountered no such issue.

What the video shows could be a problem only if you disable autocorrect or if you want to type a single letter. I made a bunch of errors typing this one and in the end the phone autocorrected it all.
