Swiping is a blessing on iPhone Mini, but it's not available in my language for some reason. Multilingual input, I can just start typing in English or Czech and two words in, the keyboard knows. And even for normal tap-typing, the accuracy is a bit better because the keyboard apparently learns from your mistakes and basically builds a virtual keyboard with shifted letters underneath the visible one.

(to be clear I'm petty enough to be willing to give it all up for not having to stare at a fucking Bing button, so I uninstalled it)

I don't stare at my keyboards, so I never noticed the Bing key, but I just checked, and indeed, it's there. (Now I'm wondering if I will now keep seeing it..!?)

Tbh I have to stare at my smartphone keyboard or else I make a lot of typos. And about the button, it's not even that it takes up space or looks that bad, it's about the principles. In my world, you just don't put useless crap on someone's keyboard.
