if its for web forms, this is partly on the developer since they can set the intended input type so itll show phone keys, numbers, email and so on

theres a whole thing about potential accessibility issues that arise depending on browser coverage and screen reader software that i wrote up and deleted; its mostly covered now but there were gaps for built-in screen readers for android and ios, ironically, especially for any older versions

the time i want it the most is when i’m manuallly sendings a text or imessage and i have to enter a number from the thin strip of numbers across the top row :qq:

yes. the ML core isn't exactly a user-facing feature but there's a public API for accessing it so you might see it any time an app wants to do ML stuff. on mobile that's usually image processing, apple uses it for their fake depth of field effect in the camera app portrait mode

1. using AM/PM instead of 24 hour time is bad
2. the proportions of this interface are all hosed up. Why isn't the time roller much bigger and just taking up that whole top area. I just checked on my 11 and the space between the options and keyboard is fuking huge. get it together timb

LOL if you use military time instead of God-fearing mariner's time. Like, yeah I can add/subtract 12 in my head but why bother? Gimme that good ol' anti-meridian / post-meridian.

24 hour time sucks because not all the numbers get used equally. when was the last time you dummies with 24 hour time saw 4:00?

all time labels are an arbitrary construction it doesn’t matter when it starts. tbqh i would like one time zone on 24-hour time because it would make meeting scheduling easier

24 hrs is easy:

clocks with hands still have 12 hour lines so there's no worry getting shot down

when it's 17:00 we say "five", and when it's 17:30 we say "half six"

see? easy.

yeah theres only 12 of them so after about a day using it you are no longer doing mental subtraction, you just have a map in your head that says 15 hours is known as "three" in the pidgin language of the simple folk

half of six is 3, not 5.5

6 / 2 = 3
3 * 2 = 6
