<p>Does this really work? I would think the ping time would not be dominated by speed of light, but by number of hops, and connection quality.<p>As a hypothetical example, an IP in a New York City data center is likely to have a shorted ping to a London data center, than a rural New York IP address.</p>

<p>while I definitely agree the autocorrect has gotten worse, what I find more of a problem is all the various other pop-ups that occur. For example, they recently added the ability to 'undo' an autocorrect, but this pop up grabs focus, and you can't click on text near this pop up, because the pop up will claim the click.<p>I've also had trouble getting rid of pop up menus (copy, etc). If I want to click on text, but it has decided to pop up a menu, it can be a real pain to get rid of it. (I had no problem on previous versions of IOS).<p>There's a fundamental law of features: Every feature you add may may make it better for people who use it, but it makes it worse for everyone else.<p>If you keep adding features, anything will eventually become unusable.</p>

<p>Hah! I have exactly the opposite problem, I hit the space bar, instead of N, and the iPhone doesn't understand this a possible typo, so all the suggestions and auto-corrects are wrong.</p>
