iOS 27.3 beta adds narrower keyboard for iPhone Duo outer screen
The beta update also brings Reachability to the outer display, shifting content left or right for one-handed use, according to 9to5mac.com.
Apple has introduced a redesigned keyboard for the iPhone Duo outer display in the iOS 27.3 beta, with narrower keys and a smaller font. The change was highlighted by Beta Profiles, an account on X, and reported by 9to5mac.com.
The new layout is intended to make typing on the outer screen easier, particularly with one hand.
iOS 27.3 also adds Reachability to the outer display, which shifts on-screen content to the left or right so it can be reached more easily with a single hand. Early testers described the keyboard change as a clear upgrade.
The iPhone Duo has only been available for a couple of weeks. It shipped with iOS 27.1, and iOS 27.2 arrived a few days after launch with Apple Pencil support and Edge Light for video calls. The iOS 27.3 beta appeared about one week after iOS 27.2.
