Installing the Google keyboard has been step #1 on every new iOS device of mine for the last decade. Sometimes I'll accidentally switch back to the default one while typing and immediately notice how broken the experience is. And yeah, I have definitely run into the exact issue shown in this video.

As a side note, I can't believe not a single device manufacturer has been able to make a blackberry-style keyboard work with a modern phone. Texting is by far the #1 activity on smartphones and yet when it comes to typing we have somehow gone backwards since the mid 2000s.

Per your last point, there's at least one. My updated Q20 (BlackBerry Classic) just shipped, with the same keyboard, trackpad, and body - but new cameras, battery, and mainboard, meaning a relatively up-to-date Android

The Q27 (a ground-up new design) with a similar keyboard is in the works as well, with the Q20 being used to raise funds for the newly designed Q27

I just downloaded Google Keyboard (Gboard) and tried typing "thumbs up". It still screws it up.

Not sure if it's better that the iOS keyboard.
