Why Apple believes it’s an AI leader–and why it says critics have it all wrong

I can never make iOS write “Hong Kong” when swipe-typing; tried setting up forced text replacement entry (kong->Kong) to zero effect. It is always “Hong kong”.

Similarly I can never get iOS to type “Kings Cross”, it always forces “Kong’s Cross” even when I delete the word and retype.

PS: iOS just did this twice while typing this reply.

iOS for me always autocorrects king -> kong, and I don't understand why. What even is "kong," and who says it more often than "king"??

I think you also have to signal iMessages when it got it right by sending the message. I tried a lot of times teaching it how to write Hong Kong and when it got it right, I sent the message. From that point onwards it always writes Hong Kong correctly.

iOS always capitalizes Hong Kong properly for me, but I write that so much that I guess I could have trained it.

Edit: I also bought all of my iOS devices in Hong Kong so, there's that.

I corrected it hundreds of times so it had plenty to learn from. If you don’t have this bug when swipe-typing then I guess it’s much less likely to be fixed for me in an update, oh well.

Bought my iPhone in HK as well, double physical SIM slot is a must have!

Most other devices I bought elsewhere, except for those I was dead sure I’m going to keep. As far as I can tell HK is the only place in the world where Apple retail has a no returns policy.

Yeah, we can thank the x-border gray market for that. In the beginning it was...flexible, in that if you obviously weren’t a smuggler they’d quietly accept the return, but I haven’t needed to test that in a while.

Weird - just tried it and ir capitalised it correctly. I'm on the ios14 public beta, though.

That’s good news! I’m on iOS 13, wasn’t able to find a way to install the beta yet (not a registered iOS developer myself).
