Typing this on my SE. Only thing that makes me remotely interested in newer models is the improved camera abilities. Not sure it’s worth it to give up the form factor and affordances.
Also gonna hang out on iOS 12 for as long as possible if what I’ve heard about text selection for 13 is true.
I’d take the complaints about iOS 13 text editing with a grain of salt. I’m on board with most of the criticisms of iOS 13, including that the new text editing functionality is hard to discover, but now that I am familiar with it I would not want to go back to the old UI.
Just curious, which parts of the new UI do you prefer compared to the old one? To me it seems like a huge loss in functionality (loss of the "long press + magnifying glass" method) with subpar alternatives being offered ("picking up" and moving the cursor without seeing what's under your finger, hold space bar to get a rudimentary touchpad, etc).
I never liked the magnifying glass method. I don’t need to zoom in, I just need to put my finger somewhere other than directly on top of the text I’m trying to edit (the “pick up” method does succeed at this, although it’s not immediately intuitive). So from my perspective, I lost one subpar method and gained two slightly less subpar methods.
Picking up and moving the cursor in iOS 13 shows the cursor about half a centimetre above my finger as soon as I move the finger up or down at all. The precise location it will be moved to is perfectly visible to me. Is this not how the feature works for everyone else?
Text selection as well as copy paste are horribly broken on my up to date iPhone 11 Pro. It’s crazy bad and it bothers me every single day. How has this not been fixed by the .3 update? Crazy.
I am planing to keep my SE and buy a small/medium Fujifilm or other camera.
(text selection/navigation in 13 makes me a madman! why the f hey had to fiddle with this, are they f bored to make something f different instead of something better, they are insane! they do this - making differently but not better - repeatedly!)
What's funny is that before Apple released the large iPhones, people were leaving the iPhone to go to the larger Androids. There were very loud complaints about how Apple was behind, and larger phones were the future.
I switched from an iPhone 4 to Android, and went back to the iPhone when they released the larger size - the 6 IIRC.
