I didn't even realize this is why the feature didn't work anymore. I thought I was doing something wrong. It's terrible. I find text selection and cursor placement on the iPhone to be infuriatingly difficult. The trackpad feature made it sooo easy. It was world class. Now it is just... gone? With no alternative?

You just have to hold down on the spacebar and the trackpad will show up.

Still a far inferior replacement, and text selection still blows.

Wow, thanks! Not as good as it was, but not bad.
