I have been using this sine iphone 6/3d touch era and it is ok, but has gotten worse.

1. The space bar is a much smaller target than the original whole keyboard and I often find myself needing multiple press drags.

2. Something changed recently and it is harder to hit your placement target in text especially in single line inputs. When this happens your cursor ends up back where it was or at the start of the line. It is particularly difficult to edit or select a url in the safari menu bar.

Note: I used the space bar cursor placement at least 5 times writing this. It would have been much more difficult without.
