> Apple famously doesn't do any of this with your iPhone

Maybe that's why 50% of iPhone users still don't know that they can use long press on they keyboard (or space bar) to gain cursor control - and this is just one example.

If you press with a second finger anywhere on the keyboard after activating it will switch to selection mode.

This is featured the first time you ever bring up the software keyboard and then never again. You can see the behaviour by booting up a simulator. They do have an explainer, but it’s very easy to dismiss if you expected to just start typing.

In other words, a behavior that something like Driver.js can help you achieve.
