Well, duck it: The Apple keyboard will finally let you curse
Apple wants to let you drop F-bombs.
The company showed off its new AI-powered keyboard for iOS on Monday during WWDC 2023, its annual showcase focused on developers. Basically, this keyboard should learn that you want to curse and not say "duck" or "ducking."
"And in those moments where you just want to type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it, too," Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, and resident Daddy, said slyly during the presentation.
