It makes all the difference in the world in writing fast on the iPhone. As a novelist, I have written 100,000 words thus far on my iPhone and I find the software enhancements to keyboarding crucial. Yes, the editing phase of the work takes more effort to weed out the false corrections added by the autocorrection, but it would be gibberish without it. While I was originally irritated by the suggested corrections, the turnaround came when I closed my eyes and typed several hundred words as fast as I could and was greeted with perfect copy. However, the edit phase is absolutely necessary, but writing science fiction, I have to do that anyway. I would be less likely to use the iPhone for type-and-go works like blogs or even email if I hadn't already developed the habits of checking for substituted words.
