There are many bad stereotypes about Android, and Samsung isn’t helping by shipping such a bad keyboard to millions of Android users.

Someone has never used an iPhone keyboard.
My last phone was an iPhone 13. One of the reasons I wanted to switch was because of how bad the keyboard was. Switching to gboard on iOS doesn’t really help. It’s a reskinned iOS keyboard so there’s latency and lag issues.
I bought one and used it for 3 months and then had to ditch it. The keyboard was a big reason. So bad. Unbelievable that they haven’t fixed it…
I kept mine for 4 years and honestly enjoyed it with the exception of the keyboard, the lack of FOSS apps, and the way the filesystem works. Switching to gboard afterwards and making the keys even bigger was amazing on an android.
i recently went from an iPhone 12 Pro to a Fairphone 6, because reasons. However, good god… The iphone keyboard is atrocious. For anything other than English, it’s like Apple think languages don’t have words in them.
Worst experience I’ve ever had with a soft keyboard was iphone’s. Never again.
Edit: words.
What’s wrong with it? Just curious.
Too small and not resizeable. No number row and no long-press layer, so you have to constantly switch between layers. Bad swipe detection. No customization. Etc.
These are all basic features Android keyboards had very early on.
