Why Would You Want Your iPhone Keyboard to Display Upper Case Letters?

Before we begin, it is important to note that this feature will only affect how the keys on your keyboard are displayed. If you switch to upper case keys on your keyboard, it does not mean that everything you type out will automatically be capitalized, thus making this a cosmetic feature rather than a functional one.

On that note, switching to upper case keys is done mainly to make letters more notable and prominent, which is especially useful for anyone with poor vision. If you’re more comfortable with upper case letters, you won’t have to constantly pressShiftto view them. This may help improve typing efficiency, or it may just be a way to switch up the visuals on your iPhone.
