12-inch iPad Pro is coming soon!

A foreign Apple device hacker named Steve TS discovered that the keyboard interface of iOS 9 hides some features that adapt to larger screens. Judging from the screenshots of the keyboard area, the new keyboard layout makes better use of the screen space.

The Tab key and Caps Lock key are added on the left, and there is an additional row of symbol keys at the top. This new row of symbol keys is actually the symbol in the upper right corner of a row of numbers on our physical keyboard: ~! @#￥%……&* ()_+. Symbol keys are also added to the right side of the letter area. In short, these changes make the iPad virtual keyboard look more like the physical key layout we are familiar with in daily life.

The layout of the second symbol interface has also been changed. The larger keyboard area allows all symbols to be displayed on one interface, avoiding the embarrassment of having to switch between two interfaces to find all symbols.

The reason behind these design changes is obvious. The rumored 12-inch iPad Pro may really be coming! There have been rumors about the large-screen iPad, and Apple intends to push it into the education and business markets. The latest iOS 9 split-screen function will also have a more advanced experience on the 12-inch iPad.

***We can compare the keyboard layout of the iPad Air currently running iOS 9. Obviously, the new expanded area layout will make the future 12-inch iPad Pro a true productivity tool.
