Apple has fixed the iPhone’s misfiring keyboard, but it’s time to ditch it for a better option

Apple released iOS 26.4 to fix a bug that caused missed keystrokes when typing quickly.

Testing shows the update reduces garbled phrases and yields more consistent input at speed.

Despite the fix, some taps still produce wrong characters and single-word errors remain.

Third-party keyboards like Gboard and Microsoft SwiftKey still offer stronger prediction and more flexible controls.
