The developer Steve Troughton-Smith has discovered a keyboard most complete software in the iOS SDK 9, with familiar layout to a standard keyboard that is found on laptops Apple MacBook . The keyboard also comes with an additional row of smaller keys for symbols on the main screen and figures on the second view.

Remember, the rumors about a possible announcement of a Pro iPad back to last year, where multiple rumors that Apple was discussed developing a tablet with a 12 inch screen capable to compete with the famous range of tablets Microsoft Surface.

Five rows are better than four
Apple may be in the process of eliminating the third screen to the virtual keyboard, to make visible both views. Currently, users can switch between a display showing the alphabet, another to have the numbers and finally a third screen listing the additional symbols.

On the screenshots of the new iOS keyboard 9 posted by Troughton-Smith, there are two screens, which means that there is enough room on the keyboard to remove the third screen containing additional symbols.

The screen of the main keyboard displays five rows of keys - a dedicated line for the bar area, three complete lines for the letter keys, and a fifth row of small buttons for symbols. Symbols keys are those that are the number buttons physical Apple keyboards.

On the second screen, Apple appears on the fifth row the numbers below with three rows of additional keys symbols. There is also quick access keys to cancel or not (undo / redo) a secondary entry in this view.

iOS 9
A number of new features introduced with iOS 9 would make sense on a larger screen . Apple has shown an ideal shared view for multitasking, users can resize according to their desires and needs. They can tap on the virtual keyboard on the verge to take cursor control, facilitating the selection of the text.

Apple also announced a better support for a physical keyboard come with iOS 9, which could mean an improvement in keyboards docks, docking stations, keyboards and external, that could happen alongside the largest tablet . Currently, third party manufacturers like Belkin or Logitech keyboards to create the range of iPad Air and iPad Mini.

9 iOS is expected to arrive this fall, and Apple is also expected to refresh its mobile hardware, including the iPhone and iPad for that period of time.

iPad Pro
The iPad Pro is rumored to depart from the screen of 9.7 inches of the iPad Air 2, a screen size that Apple kept constant since the inception of the iPad, and the 7.9-inch screen on iPad Mini 3. The Pro model is supposed to happen with a 12.9 inch screen, placing it in the same category as the current Microsoft Surface Pro 3 , or the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Samsung Android.

Other features that we have heard for this model Pro include several input ports, potentially USB Type-C, stereo speakers. The iPad Pro can also highlight Force Touch technology from Apple, which can provide haptic feedback and enable new gestural controls. The iPad Pro can also come with NFC technology, allowing tablet owners use as a cash register to apple pay.

Nevertheless, and despite the many rumors, so far Apple has given no indication that such a device exists. He must be patient.
