TextInput value and placeholders are not aligned out of the box

[cmw9706]

Problem Description

I have

      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="Note title testing!!..."
        placeholderTextColor="#666"
        value={title}
        onChangeText={setTitle}
      />

and

  input: {
    backgroundColor: '#16213e',
    borderRadius: 8,
    padding: 12,
    color: '#fff',
    fontSize: 16,
    borderWidth: 1,
    borderColor: '#0f3460',
    marginBottom: 16,
  },

That yields this unaligned textinput

Steps To Reproduce

1. create a text input
2. set the placeholder prop

See that the placeholder is unaligned

Expected Results

The textinput placeholder to be aligned
