Took em years

Because it’s less important than anything else in the whole world.

Not if you’re an Android user, to whom this feature is apparently vital.

As an Android user… Lolwut?

I haven’t used T9 for years either.

I dunno, but whenever I’ve seen this brought up on /r/Apple the comments are usually stuffed with Android users, or former Android users talking about how much they love T9 dialling.

I won’t lie, as a man of a certain age I’d love to try texting with T9 again, but it’s not hugely important to me.

Vital for complaining about a feature Apple doesn’t have that nobody except really old people might possibly use.

Utterly useless to me but ok. The 1990s are long gone.

Pro tip: use spotlight to search for people. You can call them right through the search results.

Also, T9 would work as a Watch Keyboard…
