That doesn't sound decent to me, haven't measured but I'm sure I can swipe a lot faster than that on a phone.

I think that smartphones with full keyboard and auto complete/autocorrect get you faster than 10wpm. Even the old number pad phones would beat that in the hands of your average 90s teenager.

At least I know keyboard mistakes are my own fault. Smartphone “corrections” have a 30% chance of altering the intention of my words.

(Amusingly, typing this on my phone, Apple corrected “mistakes are my own” to “mistakes are not”)

I have a iPhone 13 Mini and generally just smash all over the place. I turned auto correct off and spell check on, because that seemed like the best method for me to just mash through my sentence and manually select the autocorrect/spell check option I want.

People could hit that speed on old numberpad based phones. On any decently modern smartphone with swipe IME enabled it's pretty trivial to hit 30-40 WPM.

Er, what? Without even trying hard I get (according to the typing.com 1 minute test) 58 wpm on my phone - and that's without using swiping or autocompletion.
