Apple has created a useful one-handed keyboard for the iPhone, but doesn’t let you use it

Apple has included a useful one-handed keyboard in every iPhone since the introduction of iOS 8 back in September 2014, according to iOS developer Steve Troughton-Smith.

The hidden Apple keyboard is designed to make typing easier for those with small hands and large-screen iPhones.

The keyboard shifts the individual keys across to one-side of the display to make one-handed typing much easier.

The little-known Apple keyboard is designed to make reaching across the 5.5inch display more comfortable.

Unfortunately, there is a major problem with this keyboard – you’ll never be able to use it.

According to iOS developer Steve Troughton-Smith, Apple has included the helpful one-handed keyboard in the iPhone operating system since 2014, but has never allowed customers to access it.

Apple billed iOS 8 as the “biggest change to iOS since the introduction of the App Store” when it launched in September 2014.

iOS 8 launched alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus – the first Apple smartphone with a 5.5inch display, so it would make sense for the US technology company to design a keyboard to help those with smaller hands.

What makes less sense, is why Apple never decided to make the keyboard available to iPhone owners.

Steve Troughton-Smith claims the only way to access the secret Apple keyboard is to jailbreak your iPhone.

However this will void your Apple warranty – so we really wouldn’t recommend attempting it.

According to Apple’s website, “iOS is designed to be reliable and secure from the moment you turn on your device. Built-in security features protect against malware and viruses and help to secure access to personal information and corporate data.

“Unauthorised modifications to iOS (also known as “jailbreaking”) bypass security features and can cause numerous issues to the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

“It is also important to note that unauthorised modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorised software.”

The news comes as Apple mailed-out invites for a hardware announcement.

The cryptic invite contains an image of the Apple logo in a variety of colours, partly obscured by a black fog.

Apple is set to hold another hardware event this week

This is accompanied by the tagline “hello again”, which could be a reference to the original Mac, which was revealed in 1984 with the word “hello”.

The event is set to be held at the Apple campus in Cupertino, California, starting at 10am PT, or 6pm BST.

Apple refreshed its iPhone and Apple Watch models last month, meanwhile, the MacBook Pro has not been given a major overhaul since 2012.
