I've been on Dvorak for a while now. Honestly, typing QWERTY on my iPhone isn't particularly difficult, as the muscle memory for the tiny on-screen keyboard seems to be different than that of my laptop keyboard. But it would be nice for Apple to offer a Dvorak option.
- decklin 17y agoSame here. On a keyboard, I touch type with ten fingers, and on my phone, I use two, which is pretty much how I stumbled along with QWERTY before I decided to learn Dvorak, so it really doesn't bother me at all.
- zefhous 17y agoAgreed. I type in Dvorak and have an iPhone. The brain doesn't see desktop and mobile typing in the same way. I actually type faster and much more naturally in QWERTY on the iPhone than on a proper keyboard. I'd love to see Apple ship a Dvorak layout with the iPhone, but I think one of the big barriers is how the iPhone keyboard is normally laid out. Dvorak has two extra letters on the bottom row and more punctuation on top. In QWERTY they get rid of the punctuation on the bottom row and put shift and delete in the extra space.
