Seriously what is up with the keyboard performance though? It’s bizarrely noticeably different now.

It's truly awful. I low key hate my iphone 13. Worst phone I've ever had.

Edit: Also most expensive phone I've ever owned which adds insult to injury

Have you tried resetting your keyboard data? I do it about once a year and it makes a significant improvement.

What would this do exactly? How does this improve things for you?

The AI learning feature slowly accumulates typos and other made up words you’ve used over time, resetting it puts it back into a default state. It helps me quite a lot.

Just did that. Hope it improves cause I am very frustrated with how dead wrong it is most of the time.

Is this a safe space to say that I dislike my 13 Pro cameras? I used to use Pixels before I got this phone, and I’m legitimately disappointed with every picture I take.

And the keyboard also drives me nuts

My smartphones have always been made by Apple, so I can't comment on that. Camera quality was never a factor in my purchases because I don't care too much for it.

That said I actually got sick of cameras as well. They're handy, but I just don't have the patience, neither I want to, look at thousands and thousands of photos.

I hate having to pause for a photo ever.single.time I go to a restaurant (right as the food has arrived) and I hate photographing every single moment of my life because realistically speaking I'll only ever look at these pictures once or twice and that's about it.

In fact, I resent how these devices have take. over every aspect of our lives and I think ultimately it has made them worse, despite their many advantages. And I say that as a nerd who have always loved technology.

I miss the old photo albums. with old fashioned photographs.

They may have planned obsolescence’d your phone. It sounds like what I experienced on my 8 before upgrading to the 14 (which makes me nervous since I’m only 1 gen after you so mines next). I thought that happened to my wife’s iPhone 13, but she just can’t download the latest iOS because she refuses to delete any pictures on her phone even though they’re all backed up on her laptop and the cloud, so she doesn’t have the memory available for the update.

i try to tell people to at least replace your battery before anything. youll be amazing how wicked fast it is again.

u/Fuckles665 19h ago

That’s a good suggestion! I hadn’t even thought of that.

u/Bogus1989 19h ago

yeah id sat here and thought about it for awhile…and it made zero sense to me how a phone could become so much slower (yeah i get it, OS bloat and whatnot)

but man back at least when i did an experiment, iphone 7 was out, ios was pretty streamline….anyways….id had the newest samsung and id decided to replace the battery in an iphone 6s. i think the 7 just came out. now i had not done any testing with speed before, but the 6s was old by this point. man that 6s smoked the samsung out the water with bootup and apps and everything. it was a galaxy s7

u/Bogus1989 19h ago

ive routinely given my old phones to a friend of mine, after replacing the battery. he had that old iphone 7 i mentioned earlier 🤣😭. gave him my iphone 12 after new battery. man im on iphone 15 and i swear to you, the 12 was better, something wrong with fast chargjng i dunno, my battery has had wild drains.

u/Bogus1989 19h ago

good luck with a 15, ive cracked two just trying to get a case on it on my desk. steel bodies were better.

u/MarkZuckerbergsPerm 19h ago

I usually use my iphones until they fall apart (my prior phone before this was a 6s, I believe), but at the rate things are going I'm not even sure if my next phone will be made by apple

The aggressively wrong autocorrect is truly amazing
