The SE is too small for me to know if it is a bug still. My wife is using the 11 Pro Max and seems to be still having issues. But that intercom feature seems to be working. LOL
 
Is this even an iOS issue? I am experiencing this on iOS 12.x. I have ignored iOS 13 entirely and have not decided for sure about iOS 14. I have an iPhone 6s and an original iPad Pro 12.9".

EDIT: Meaning, isn't this a services issue? Because nothing has changed, iOS version-wise, on my phone in ages. Though, if it IS a design issue that resetting the keyboard dictionary helps temporarily, at least I can grasp that as being why it took so long to appear. Still, we shouldn't have to. As someone else said above, I'm not convinced Apple actually use their own products in any serious manner, because there's an ENDLESS list of bugs NOT getting fixed at each release.
 
Hi everyone,

I have an iPhone XS Max and I have also been experiencing the keyboard lag. I’ve also noticed small issues like not capitalizing the first letter of sentences, placing apostrophes where they need to be, and even skipping letters altogether when typing. The dictionary and keyboard resets have been done and neither seem to have made any difference.

Today, it got really bad and anything I typed into Messages wouldn’t appear for 8-10 seconds. Since I was out running errands, I performed a restart (Volume Up + Lock Key). After my device powered off, I waited about 10-15 seconds before attempting to power on again. However, it would display the Apple logo and then go black again. The first time, I waited about two minutes and when it didn’t come back up, I pressed the lock key again. The Apple logo appeared and it continued through this “cycle” approximately 20 times before finally loading up. This is the first time I’ve restarted my device since upgrading to iOS 14.2. Do you think these issues are linked in any way?

Thanks!

Not to disclaim the problems you are having, but I kept my 6S on IOS 12 and I don't get any lag with the (stock) keyboard.
 
XS Max. Still have the lag. Installed a fresh install of 14.2. Wasn’t present on the 12 Pro I’m returning this week.
 
It's 100% still there on the Max Pro 12. Had the issue in all 14.X releases including non beta. Happened on iphone pro max 11 and now 12. Happens less overall, happens less after a reboot but then comes back pretty quickly.. hope they fix this one.. will report it again on new phone...
 
I'm sticking with 14.1 for a while on my 12 Pro

not just for jailbreak-ability prospects down the road possibly, but worried about battery life dips as some have said they've experienced on 14.2, messages missing sporadically for 14.x users which hasn't affected me... etc etc


seems to run well enough, this occasional keyboard lag aside

the fact Its not signed anymore and can't return to it if I wanted to, makes me be even more cautious.
 
iPhone 11 Pro Max launch day device, running latest public release 14.2.1. Add me to the list.
 
What’s odd is I haven’t had the lag in a few days. It was heavily present last week. Haven’t updated to a new version, it just went away for the time being.
 
I have been having this issue as well on my 12. My phone updated to iOS 14.2.1 a few moments ago. We’ll see if this fixes it. I’m more annoyed by the green color of the Messages app icon. Why choose the color Apple selected to designate a text from an android user? Icon should be blue IMHO.

The phone, messages, and FaceTime apps all are stock communication apps. They are all green. While I wouldn’t be upset to see Apple change the green to blue, its their visual cohesion that they’re trying to stick with, it seems.

Green isn't a color to designate a text from an Android user, green is the default messing color for regular messaging supported by cellular/mobile networks without the use or need of a data connection, i.e. SMS/text messaging.

Thanks for that! I did not know that.
 
Today my wife was trying to start an app and screen was unresponsive on the 11 Pro Max. I was driving while she was in the passenger seat and told her to just turn off/on the screen and it worked again. I'm happy I don't need to deal with iOS all day like her, it would drive me crazy.
 
I got my iPhone 12 mini last Friday and haven't had any lag issues until this weekend. Updated to 14.2.1 the other day and the lag showed up a day or two later. Awesome.
 
I have a 12 Pro Max and have been seeing issues with lag. Sometimes bad. Type 10 to 14 letters or so before they start popping up on the display in the text box.

My wife has a 11 Pro Max and she has had issues with her screen being unresponsive. Today while receiving a phone call she could not swipe to answer and she tried 6 times. On the 7th time it finally worked.
