If you're uncertain about committing, ordering through Microsoft also gives you a generous 60-day return policy. That OS update should refine the dual-screen experience while also letting app developers easily optimize apps for spanning across both displays.Įither way, if you were eyeing Surface Duo 2, heading down to your local Best Buy to try one out for $999 seems like a no-brainer if the design piques your interest.
It'd also be good to see advancements with typing (SwiftKey) and Microsoft Launcher (more customizations).Įxtending the longevity of Surface Duo 2 is Android 12L, which is expected "later this year" according to Google. Enhancements to the Glance Bar to allow access to third-party app notifications is one area (something that we hear is in the works), improvements to the camera software are never a bad thing, and more abilities for the optional Surface Slim Pen 2 for inking is welcomed. Windows Phone's software keyboard was arguably the best in class, so it is interesting to see if Microsoft can deliver a better or comparable alternative for iOS and Android users.Of course, Microsoft could still do more with Surface Duo 2. With one of the main bugs in the resurrected SwiftKey for iOS fixed, all eyes are now set on Microsoft and its promise to start "investing heavily" into SwiftKey on mobile platforms.
Vishnu Nath, Microsoft's VP and GM of OneNote, has revealed on his Twitter account that the update aims at fixing problems with signing in SwiftKey with a Microsoft Account, so those returning to the popular keyboard on iOS can once again use their Microsoft Accounts and all the benefits they provide. The official SwiftKey changelog in the App Store does not tell much about the latest update.
Microsoft has updated SwiftKey for iOS to restore Microsoft Account sign-in and solve other unnamed issues. Now the company begins its journey to deliver the promised exciting features for SwiftKey with a small step: fixing the broken stuff. The app has spent a little more than one month in its grave just to return to life by "popular demand" from frustrated iOS customers. Last month, Microsoft resurrected the legendary SwiftKey keyboard on iOS.
