I just noticed a meaningless feature of iOS: The cursor moves (since iOS 15?) in steps of one pixel.

Probably just to make it slick looking (fluent)…

- BUT that’s completely non-effective as it allows for the cursor to be positioned on top of a single letter in >10 different positions.

So when you’re editing you are having a much more difficult time placing the cursor just between the two letters you want.

I noticed it when using some app the had disabled this stupid feature and it was just so much more effective to do mybediting as the cursor jumped to the position BETWEEN the letters in stead of FLOATING ALL OVER.

It’s nice on slides when presenting a new fancy feature, but completely useless for s ‘professional’ (focused) user.

PS yes I recall those old Apple adds - saw them when they were brand new and Apple was a better details oriented company (I miss those days….)
