It’s worth it when you need it. Most people never need it.

To me a lot depends on do you often put your phone down in public places? Do you have a lot of instances where you don’t know where your phone is? At your place of work are there a lot of thefts? Are you often in crowded areas? Do you use it on public transportation a lot where someone could grab it out of your hand and run? How is crime in your place of residence?
Just remember that theft or loss is not an instant replacement like AppleCare+. It goes through a third party and you have to work with them. Also, I believe the deductible is around $250. So look at the cost for two years plus the cost of the deductible and determine if that will be worth it to you if you have just one loss or theft in 2 years. Of course it covers more but if you’ve never lost or had one stolen I would just factor in one.

If you plan for most everything else in your life to stay the same the next 2 years, I'd skip the theft and loss package.
Now if you have planed an out of the country trip to somewhere you've never gone, expect to move to a new city/town, or are looking to find a new job and potentially more risky job, theft and loss has a better chance of being more useful to you.

Buy it. Better to have and not need it than need it and not have it.

It's free to never worry about it or think about it at all. I do it every day.

I, in fact, was not. I said *you * couldn’t. But Apple probably can.

That’s apples own apps. You were talking about non-apple apps

I’d bet Apple’s own apps do. Don’t know for sure but I think it’s a safe assumption to make.

Other apps don’t get special permissions to do things to your phone.

I'm giving this a shot. I figure it can't get any worse than it already is.
I think this doesn't have anything to do with the keyboard though. I think it might just be a dictionary.

It's not possible for you. I wouldn't honestly put anything past Apple.

The iPhone keyboard has always been bad, but I think it's worse than ever now, to the point that I just send voice messages to my wife instead of trying to text her. I really wish Apple would steal Google's voice-to-text and autocorrect software.

I’ve tried swiftkey in the past. It’s decent, but not as good as Swype was. I was using gboard almost exclusively until iOS integrated swiping in their default keyboard. When I first moved to iOS, you were still forced to use the default keyboard for any passwords/etc. I found that extremely frustrating, once it was built into the default keyboard I just started using it and have stuck with it. The default keyboard, at this point, isn’t awful but the predictive text/autocorrect is truly bad.
Back in the day with Swype, you could pick from multiple keyboard layouts. You could also customize colors and it built up a library of words you would use often. The autocorrect was actually a benefit. iOS will simply change your entire sentence if you aren’t careful. I find that I often have to reread my text input sometimes twice to confirm I’ve typed what I actually intended.

Yeah the keyboard is god awful. I for the life of me can’t figure why people say, things just work, and when so many key features are broken.

Omg tell me about it, I moved from android the other day and got an iPhone after a very long time and the keyboard is so difficult to use, it just doesn’t have Google’s dictionary and using google keyboard doesn’t fix it

I have to constantly retype messages because of this. It’s wasn’t like this a few years ago.

I’m not. I’ve made plenty of iOS apps and it’s not possible, trust me.
