i was personally surprised that glide wasn't given top position in the announcement, since that's the one feature i've seen lots of ios users envy from android.


Swype and other keyboards with similar functionality have been available since iOS 8's release. It makes sense they'd highlight the new functionality over that.


They aren't very good, though. I use swype since switching to iOS last year and it's honestly a slog to use compared to the android keyboard.

I actually understand now why so many iphone aficionados don't like the idea of this kind of typing.
