I can buy into the fact that text editing on phones is a pain, but the solutions presented in the video seemed very unconvincing for me. The "only magnify in place" option is obviously a horrible idea. I don't know about you but my thumb is not transparent. The whole reason for moving the magnified piece off to the side is so that you can actually see it. The problem isn't as evident in the video because there is no finger in the way, but I just was imagining this behavior on the comment I'm currently typing, and there is no way I'd be able to see the magnified content if it worked like the proposed solution in the video.
