We wasted little time once iOS 8 launched before we started deliberately trying to break Apple's new QuickType feature, and XKCD took things a step further with today's cartoon. That idea inspired us to test just how good the iPhone can be at butchering other famous phrases, quotes, and lyrics.
Could one of the best phones ever be as eloquent as John F. Kennedy Jr., or as lyrically smooth as Cee-Lo Green? Before long, each attempt wound up in a pattern of the same suggested pronouns and prepositions. But the beautiful incoherence of trying to make a word-suggestion software assemble actual phrases led to some wonderfully strange results.
A few lessons learned: QuickType is fond of suggesting something is the "best," can often get stuck in a loop of temporal suggestions (day, week, year) and loves talking about my mom. (Bold is what was typed, the rest is all QuickType's fault).
