If you have been using iOS for a while, you’re probably used to the “shift” button on the iOS keyboard. When the arrow is black, it means that the next character will be an uppercase character, but when it’s grey, it means that the character will be of the lowercase variety. However this isn’t very obvious especially to iOS newbies.
Well Apple has finally done something about it with iOS 9. While it was not announced during Apple’s WWDC 2015 event (and we suppose for good reason since it isn’t particularly groundbreaking), it has been spotted by developers who got their hands on the beta that Apple has made some changes to the iOS keyboard.
Now when the shift button is pressed, the entire keyboard will reflect the change. So if you notice that the keyboard is displaying all uppercase characters, then you know that the shift key is on, but when it displays lowercase characters, you know that it is off. Like we said it isn’t particularly a groundbreaking piece of technology, but this is something iOS users have been asking for and Apple has finally delivered.
Unlike iOS 7, iOS 9 is more of a performance update. It has been designed to be smarter and more proactive where it will automate certain tasks for you, like setting reminders for events and marking them on your calendar even before you accept them. It will also see improvements made to Siri where Siri’s searches are more contextual, and it has also introduced a revamped Spotlight which feels a lot like Google Now. The public beta of iOS 9 is pegged for July with its release in the fall of 2015.
