I think that either method is good, but I notice that my typing speed
has increased using touch typing.

Personally, I've found I prefer split tapping over touch typing. With
touch typing, I find I lose time taking my finger off the screen and
replacing it on the screen to get to the next letter. I like split
tapping, since I can just slide my one finger around the screen without
taking it off the screen and tapping with my second finger as soon as I
reach the right letter with my first finger. Another good example though
is a word like "meet" where getting those two e's in there seems a bit
faster to me with split tapping rather than touch typing.
It's all just my preference though, and it may be just because I haven't
spent as much time with touch typing as I have with split tapping. It's
a good thing Apple has given us the choice though. I would agree that
either method seems faster than just double tapping each character, but
even there, whatever anyone is comfortable with is good.
