And let’s not even talk about the paste icon, which is ridiculous. First of all, it’s a glue bottle. Second of all… look, let’s just move on. Having a better landscape keyboard is a great idea, but this one needs a lot more work.

BAD STUFF
Probably needs a case
iOS can be glitchy
Apps need to be updated to take better advantage of the display
Seriously, what is this paste icon on the landscape keyboard



he even cries about it in the video review of the iphone 6+. Yeah, it is a big, dumb phone, but I think he missed the point. why is this icon so bad??

because it's very difficult to come up with icons that signify a digital function with a real-world metaphor.

that's the reason.

I guess I mean why does he hate it so much? It just seems like an icon to me and a pretty reasonable one at that, short of just sayin ``PASTE''

haven't touched a 6+ but it looks like the bigger issue is that the keyboard is the same size and stuck in the middle where you won't even be able to reach the loving thing
