While Apple has been focusing on the design aesthetics and innovation of iOS, there is a crucial aspect that has been overlooked - the functionality of the stock iOS keyboard.
Two Decades of Embarrassment
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the iPhone and iOS, it is baffling that the standard iOS keyboard still lacks a dedicated number row.
Users are forced to tap the "123" button to access the numerical row, a basic feature that has been missing for two decades.
The reliance on third-party keyboards for such a fundamental function is a disappointment, highlighting a significant usability flaw in Apple's software.
Neglecting Basic Functionality
The absence of a number row on the stock iOS keyboard underscores Apple's prioritization of design over functionality.
Despite the potential for improvement with each iOS update, the oversight of such a vital feature remains a persistent issue.
The lack of a simple toggle to enable a numerical row reflects a missed opportunity for Apple to enhance the user experience.
