I need to vent because the baseline user experience on iOS has become completely unusable.
First, Apple’s voice-to-text / dictation is easily the weakest link in my entire tech stack. I use it daily, and it constantly misunderstands basic words, forces me to go back, erase, and repeat the same process over and over again.
Second, the predictive text is just as bad. Instead of helping, it actively wastes my time by throwing out completely wrong suggestions and breaking my typing flow.
To top it all off, I tried to actually use Apple’s official support channel to complain. Siri completely failed to direct me to the right place. When I finally navigated to the support page myself, the site forced me to create a username, made me check a dozen boxes, and then—in classic broken fashion—looped me right back to the login page to start over.
Is anyone else dealing with this absolute regression in basic software quality? How is a trillion-dollar company letting core features like dictation and customer support loops remain this broken?
