iPad Keyboard in iOS 9 Scales, Hints at Larger iPad Pro [Images]

The iPad keyboard in iOS 9 scales, hinting that a larger iPad Pro may indeed be in the works.

Developer Steven Troughton-Smith made the discovery early this morning, tweeting, "Also new in iOS 9 - UIKeyboard seems to scale to a much larger heretofore unseen iPad screen size #ipadproconfirmed".

The larger keyboard adds a fifth row of keys, as well as tab and caps lock keys on the left side. It's layout is more similar to a hardware keyboard with bigger keys in traditional locations.


Alongside the new keyboard, iOS 9 also brings new Slide Over, Split View, and Picture-in-Picture multitasking features which would making working on a larger iPad Pro much more productive.

Apple is expected to release the new tablet this fall but for now you can check out images of the keyboard below.
