type="email" retunes the QWERTY keyboard for addresses: iOS promotes @ and . onto the primary layer, and both platforms drop the autocorrect and auto-capitalization behavior that mangles addresses in a plain text field.

autocomplete="email" is the bigger win: the user’s own address offered in the bar above the keyboard — the difference between typing twenty characters and tapping once.

Browsers validate type="email" natively but permissively (a@b passes), so server-side validation still owns correctness. What the type buys you is the keyboard and the autofill, not the guarantee.
