”Huh?“
At least I know I’m not alone in thinking it a problem: Why are the right- and left-quotation marks on iOS’s keyboard reversed?

Pixels and iPads
The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial (who’s also working as an attorney for the defense) appears to believe the defense’s bogus claim that pinching and zooming on an iPhone adds pixels to and thus alters an image. And the prosecutor, who couldn’t provide a clear explanation of high-resolution images, also couldn’t answer the defense’s (bogus?) question about what operating system an iPad uses.
Diacritics with an external iPad keyboard

Trying the iPad
"Typing — with the iPad propped up at an angle on a low table — is easier than I had expected but still tedious. I was reminded of what it’s like when I catch and correct typos on a cellphone. Because I’m looking at the keys and not the screen, I don’t see typos until I’m well past them. Tedious."
John Gruber on typing and the iPad
"You absolutely do not need a hardware keyboard for it. But if you're hoping to do any amount of serious writing with it (and, for obvious vocational reasons, I plan to), you're going to want one."
