Area: iPadOS / UIKit / Accessibility
Summary: In iPadOS 27.0.1, the buttons below the software keyboard have become extremely small (image), and their touch-sensitive area (clickable area) is also extremely small. This makes it difficult for users to click accurately, leading to frequent accidental touches and severely impacting the text input experience.
These interface elements should conform to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines regarding the minimum touch-sensitive area (44x44 pt). Furthermore, clicking the copy button is unresponsive; a pop-up window must be accessed by clicking the input box, and then clicking paste to activate the function. After pasting, words cannot be selected via handwriting, severely affecting the user experience.
Actual Performance: These buttons appear visually very crowded, with an extremely small touch-sensitive area. Increasing the system font size has no effect on these interface elements. Users find it extremely difficult to click the target button accurately, frequently triggering incorrect operations.
Environment: Device: iPad with A16 chip; Operating system version: iPadOS 27.0.1 (version number: [iPadOS27]); Applications: System-level (including Safari, Notes, etc.). Impact: This issue affects accessibility and basic usability. The impact is particularly noticeable for users with large fingers, motor disabilities, or those who rely on accessibility features. The interface appears overly cramped and unintuitive.
