I think the reason why third party keyboards were initially a big deal was because the Apple keyboard felt dated, and lacking options compared to others on other platforms. And if Apple wasn't going to update it, then allow the users alternatives. My fiancé used swiftkey on her old android phone, and wouldn't even consider an iPhone without it.

The problem with SwiftKey for the iPhone is that it's different from the Android version in really infuriating ways. For instance, there is no option to have the space bar drop in the next suggested word (it will only drop in the suggested word after you've typed a letter) hence defeating the whole selling point of SwiftKey in my mind. Also, when inserting punctuation by long-pressing the period button and selecting a comma, the keyboard doesn't automatically insert a space afterwords. How the hell does that even make it through testing?

SwiftKey on android was soooo good and the only reason it's so poo poo on iOS that I can think of ,other than pure laziness , is that Apple wouldn't let it get through the App Store

Not sure why Apple would bother with external keyboards if the implementation was going to be so glitchy and lovely. Very unapple, pretty sure Steve would have punched someone out when his keyboard crashed.

EL BROMANCE posted:I never understood why everyone clamoured for these crappy 3rd party keyboards in the first place. I just presumed they were non-iPhone users trying to find a reason to hate, and because the default android keyboard is (was?) so bad, they presumed the iOS one was shite too. No one gives a poo poo because the implementation is terrible. I would love to use SwiftKey or Swype if it wasn't utter garbage on iOS.

Also, I think part of the issue with the keyboard (for me at least) was that the prior to the iPhone 6 the keyboard felt cramped due to the smaller size of the iPhone compared to Android devices. The combination of the larger screened iPhones combined with the iOS 8 improvements to the stock keyboard have made third party keyboards less of a requirement. I occasionally miss the ability to gesture type on the iPhone but not often.

Every few months I find that I really want to use TouchPal for its swipe functionality and quick access to punctuation, but I never seem to find myself sticking to it I think if the keyboard change button in third party keyboards was allowed to bring up your full keyboard list on long-press (so I could have quick access to the emoji and other language keyboards) I'd find myself using it much more often.

Let's not forget Nintype, for those times when you're typing, but really wish you were playing a video game. EDIT: All this said, with the 6s's doubled RAM, it's entirely possible third party keyboards won't be an abysmal waste of time.

Is it true that iOS9 has opened up the Quick Reply API that only iMessage had before? I Could swear I saw news that Facebook was getting that. Swipe down to reply instantly is so good (and also... doesn't work with Third Party keyboards very well while we're on the subject  )

Quantum of Phallus posted:5s is fine. It was slow enough after the update but seems better now. The Awful app is actually one of the worst offenders ... You should probably just got with a 6 at this stage though If he wants the big screen then he should go for the 6, but it's barely any faster than the 5S and has no more RAM. (Arguably less due to the bigger screen.) It's doubtful that the 6 will have any longer practical working life even if it does get one more OS version than the 5S in say 2 year's time. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Sep 22, 2015 |

If you erase all contents and settings from the Settings App, and then through iTunes "Restore from Backup", I'm 85% sure you'll stay on whatever iOS version you're on. I had 8.3 on my iphone 6 and when I did a "Restore from Backup" it kept it on 8.3. This was last week, before iOS 9 was released, but obviously only 8.4.1 was being signed.

Here's a weird iOS9 bug that I can reproduce: If I have notifications on the lockscreen, and I swipe down to view my notification center, when I swipe notification center back up, all the notifications on the lockscreen are gone. Is there any place to report this kind of thing to Apple if you're not a developer or whatever? I want to help fix bugs

It's still legit behaviour in a lot of circumstances, I don't know why anyone would think it isn't? If you have an app that can and will do background activity that requires data, and you have a weak signal, it will chew through loads (relatively) of battery boosting the antenna to try to get it done. The main power saving in iOS9's low power mode comes from it disabling all background activity, and their battery manager now identifies apps sucking battery in the background so you know which ones you might want to be killing when not in low power mode. It's still a thing.

Well if it's not a bug, it's definitely a change in iOS 9 because previously I used to do the same thing all the time (checking my Today View and then quickly swiping it closed) and notifications on the lockscreen persisted. Kind of weird, since I sometimes just leave things on my lockscreen that I know I need to reply to or whatever, not a huge deal. Also, some things do seem to persist, like Reminders, but other (3rd party?) apps are now all clearing. I've been having a lot of notification weirdness in 9 regardless, sometimes sounds aren't working despite ringer being at max volume, at first I blamed the app but I realize it's happening on more than one app so I don't know. The weird thing is it even works sometimes, but just randomly there will be no sound.

Khablam posted:It's still legit behaviour in a lot of circumstances, I don't know why anyone would think it isn't? I think they were talking about people religiously closing every single app as soon as they back out of it, not being selective and killing apps known to consume battery/data. E.g. the stock clock, notes, calculator apps aren't going to do anything in the background, it's more the habit people have of killing off everything in the task switcher.

I don't know about that so much, I'm looking forward to being able to crop more tightly and have more data to work with. That being said, pet photos under 60w globes isn't a great test. Nothing tends to look better than average under those conditions.

Those are the kind of photos people take with their phones though. As I iterated in the thread before, my iPhone will take perfectly fine snapshots wherever I am and it's a good size/quality tradeoff. It's not replacing any real camera I own at all. If I want to take photos I might use for something, I'll take my DSLR even if it's a pain in the arse due to size/weight in comparison.
