I have quite a few controls scattered throughout many table cells in my table, and I was wondering if there's an easier way to dismiss the keyboard without having to loop through all my controls and resigning them all as the first responder. I guess the question is.. How would I get the current first responder to the keyboard?

Android devices have a solution; press the physical back button (provided on some mobile phones) or the soft key back button, and it closes the keyboard.
You can force the currently-editing view to resign its first responder status with [view endEditing:YES] . This hides the keyboard.
To hide it, slide your finger down from above the text-entry box and the keyboard will start to disappear.
If you're supporting only iOS 15 and later, you can activate and dismiss the keyboard for a text field by focusing and unfocusing it. In its simplest form, this is done using the @FocusState property wrapper and the focusable() modifier – the first stores a Boolean that tracks whether the second is currently focused.
Try:
[self.view endEditing:YES]; You can force the currently-editing view to resign its first responder status with [view endEditing:YES]. This hides the keyboard.
Unlike -[UIResponder resignFirstResponder], -[UIView endEditing:] will search through subviews to find the current first responder. So you can send it to your top-level view (e.g. self.view in a UIViewController) and it will do the right thing.
(This answer previously included a couple of other solutions, which also worked but were more complicated than is necessary. I've removed them to avoid confusion.)
