Fix iPhone Autocoreet Pleaese
Joanna Stern chose to use the first post-announcement post on her new site to return to a familiar issue that remains unresolved:
Here’s my main question: John Ternus, can you turn-us the iPhone autocorrect around?
[…]
Over the last few months, I’ve noticed more autocorrect mishaps on my iPhone 17 Pro. And I’m not alone. (I’ve also had some nasty battery drain after recent iOS 26 updates, but that’s another story for another time.) Plenty of people have complained to me about autocorrect problems. And I see the folks I’m texting with quickly correcting messages because their iPhone mangled the message.
To be fair, Apple addressed part of the problem in iOS 26.4. I’ll get to that below. But to suggest iPhone autocorrect is now fixed—or works as well as it once did—is like suggesting Siri is a genius.
Alas, New Things has no RSS feed.

Unrelated to atuocorercet, the design of New Things is … geocities expired?
It greatly irked and intrigued me at the same time haha.
Getting Joshua Topolsky vibes from the site's needlessly needless overdesign, and no RSS is baffling too. With all due respect to New Things, some Old Things are great!
No RSS makes it a dealbreaker for me.
I like Joanna Stern, she’s an entertaining writer – although I am perhaps more technical than her target audience. All I will say is: I just renewed my ArsTechnica subscription for $25/year (they are great) and she charges $100/year. I wish her luck with that.
As much as this site looks like something I might be interested in, no RSS feed means I’m never going to see the articles regularly.
