iPhone will automatically display curved or italic quotes because this is a feature, not a bug.
Although many people don’t like curved quotes, GhienCongList thinks this is a pretty useful feature. It will help us easily distinguish the start and end point of a pair of quotes.
Take for example in case you need to use 2 pairs of nested quotes. That is, you will need to type 4 quotes. Without the Smart Punctuation feature, it would be very difficult to distinguish between them.
At the present time, there is almost no method that allows entering these two types of quotes at the same time. So you can only copy manually or turn Smart Punctuation on/off flexibly depending on the situation you need to use.
In addition, Smart Punctuation also changes the way some other marks are displayed, not just quotes. It is also unaffected by external keyboards, virtual keyboards, etc.
