iPhone Users Complain About the Word 'It' Autocorrecting To 'I.T' On iOS 11 and Later (macrumors.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from MacRumors: At least a few hundred iPhone users and counting have complained about the word "it" autocorrecting to "I.T" on iOS 11 and later. When affected users type the word "it" into a text field, the keyboard first shows "I.T" as a QuickType suggestion. After tapping the space key, the word "it" automatically changes to "I.T" without actually tapping the predictive suggestion. A growing number of iPhone users have voiced their frustrations about the issue on the MacRumors discussion forums, Twitter, and other discussion platforms on the web since shortly after iOS 11 was released in late September. Many users claim the apparent autocorrect bug persists even after rebooting the device and performing other basic troubleshooting. A temporary workaround is to tap Settings: General: Keyboard: Text Replacement and enter "it" as both the phrase and shortcut, but some users insist this solution does not solve the problem. A less ideal workaround is to toggle off auto-correction and/or predictive suggestions completely under Settings: General: Keyboard. MacRumors reader Tim shared a video that highlights the issue.
Apple adherents need to recognize that their beloved brand is becoming shite, and this is because of the love.
A corporation is not a person, it has no feelings, it is an automaton with a beowulf cluster of organic components.
Quality comes from pressure, without pressure you just get a loose hot mess. The love fest needs to end and rigorous feedback about sillyness like removing headphone jacks, software bugs, privacy violation etc etc must enter the forefront and be backed up by people NOT purchasing a sub par product based on brand name alone.
This issue affects far more than apple though, it is a symptom of a greater disease of apathy which currently affects vehicle manufacture (john deer tractors to farmers who need to repair their vehicles "fuck you"), pharmaceutical industries (Purdue Pharma to patients about the opiod crisis "fuck you"), chemical industries (Scotts Miracle Grow Company to farmers about their products causing cancer "fuck you"), entertainment industry (Sony to the public about root kits on their cds "fuck you").
Most properly our governmental bodies should be protecting us, but they are not, and in many cases are either funded by or hold stock in these same corporations. This leaves only us to respond to these companies with a very large "FUCK YOU" by avoiding their products into oblivion and being vocal about their failings.
It's Slashdot news that Apple, once known as a company that thrived on details under Steve Jobs, is now only known as the company with a big pile of cash and products that do not live up to their cost.
