I have an ‘old’ model (iPhone 14 pro max) and text frequently misses characters due to the lag/input delay. It’s most pronounced when using safari for some reason.

In any case, it’s odd that hardware is multiples better yet it doesn’t always nail something as basic as typing

In my experience, iOS only misses keys during the time the keyboard is loading (which can be over a second- crazy!)

But I often have input lags where I will press several keys, and then a period of time (which can be multiple seconds) will pass before my taps are registered.

The 14 Pro Max launched less than four years ago, and should not be slower than an Android which launched a decade prior.

I never had any lag on my 4yo iPhone SE until the forced upgrade to iOS 26. Now I finally understand what all those Android users complain about.

No-one has forced you to upgrade. I’m writing this on iOS 18.

I don't have lags in Android.
