Is there a better keyboard than the stock keyboard on iPhone 6?

Not currently but only because of lack of dictation integration. Once that happens, I'll quickly vote for Swiftkey

I rarely use the dictation mic. I guess if I did, that would definitely be an issue.

I'm betting the absence of the dictation mic on 3rd party keyboards is an Apple/iTunes restriction! Apple wants to be the only one with it.

I just started using Swype again. We will see how it goes this time around.

Why Google keyboard? I would prefer the keyboard of the z10 or z30. Those keyboards where actually the best I've ever seen! I never had typo's using blackberry's touch keyboard, lol.

The one thing I miss the most. Others are the flashing LED, Mass delete for emails and of course the Hub. Some things Apple gets just perfect, others, not so much

Yeah, i agree with you there... BBRY keyboards are the best...touch and of course the physical ones! Definitely my favorite (Q10 was my fav and i had the Z10 before that... definitely usable one handed with the touchscreen and the ability to 'flick' the predicted text.)

On all other devices i get...swiftkey.

That's fine but unfortunately Apple's keyboards is mediocre at best (especially its predictability).

I can tell that SwiftKey is smarter than the stock keyboard. I only use stock as a utility for some specific things. But SwiftKey is my default.

That was 3 months ago. SwiftKey does have the "clicks sound" option now. And I prefer Kuaiboard over Clips.

Swype & swiftkey are head and shoulders above the stock keyboard. Give them a whirl if you haven't yet. You won't be disappointed.

I use Swiftkey and Themeboard. I delete the stock keyboard entirely when using a 3rd Party keyboard b/c I don't like how IOS tends to want to jump back to the stock keyboard

How do you delete the stock keyboard? Jailbreak?

You can't delete the stock keyboard but you can disable it so when you switch keyboard it doesn't come up.

Does it not still come up for passwords?

I flip between flesky and stock. Fleksy has a ton of customizing options including the number keyboard

Lmao I like the red but there are more subtle colors

SwiftKey has updated to include the diverse emoji and the Vulcan salute.

I'm currently using the Nickel Rose theme.
