I thought the iPhone shortcut for it's was to type itsa but that doesn't seem to work. I know to get we're you type wereee and to get he'll you type helll and so on, but itss doesn't give you it's and I read somewhere that itsa did. But that doesn't seem to work either. I thought there was one. Anyone know?

Unlike the other suggestions both 'its' and 'it's' are equally common; where 'its' represents the possessive and 'it's' represents the conjunction 'it is'. I see where Apple is coming from.

Yes but if you know you want to use it's, something like itsx or itisa could trigger it, saving you the punctuation taps. That's the point of helll for he'll, etc.
