Narrower keys aim to ease one-handed typing: iPhone Duo keyboard changes in iOS 27.3, here’s 9to5Mac
A new keyboard adjustment
The iOS 27.3 beta brings a keyboard update to the iPhone Duo’s outer display. The keys are narrower, and the font is slightly smaller and thinner. The revised layout is designed to make typing on the outer screen easier, particularly when using the phone with one hand. The adjustment is subtle, but early testers have described it as an improvement.
Changes arrive in stages
The iOS 27.3 beta followed about a week after that release, bringing more software changes. The keyboard update is among the latest enhancements for the recently launched device.
Reachability adds support
iOS 27.3 also includes Reachability, which lets users move content on the outer display toward the left or right. That can bring items closer to a user's hand.
With the keyboard changes, Reachability provides another way to make the iPhone Duo easier to operate one-handed. Both features are available in the iOS 27.3 beta.
Key points
- The iOS 27.3 beta gives the iPhone Duo’s outer-screen keyboard narrower keys and smaller text.
