While iOS 10.3 delivers a host of new features (including Apple ID profiles, Find My AirPods and significant upgrades to CarPlay, iCloud storage and HomeKit), it also has several secret features. One, enhanced WiFi Calling for Verizon customers, was revealed earlier this month but now another eagle eyed user has spotted bigger changes.
Developer Steven Troughton-Smith took to Twitter to reveal hidden code in iOS 10.3 introduces two entirely new iPad keyboards. Showing off his discoveries using Simulator, the first is a gesture-based keyboard where swiping left or right on any key enables backspace/space while the latter is a compact floating keyboard which can be dragged wherever you want. Whether some of this functionality could come to iPhones is unknown (adding the gesture support would make sense - similar functionality is already on Google’s Gboard), but for now the keyboards only work on iPads which are 9.7-inches or smaller. So even the iPad Pro 12.9 is left out.
