This case gives iPhones the physical keyboard Apple never wanted.

What does this have to do with “creators”, though?

No idea. It seems obvious that this is designed for the vision-impaired…

I guess it’s for tweeting a lot.

I was mildly interested until I saw “designed for creators”. Seems like a meaningless marketing term that gets added to everything these days.

Just be glad they didn’t call it an AI keyboard

Or… A iKeyboard

I will see myself out

More screen real estate compared to a virtual keyboard taking up ~30% of it

I mean sure, but how often is the virtual keyboard pulled up in any “creative” app? It always auto-hides if you’re doing anything other than interacting with a text field.

I recommend watching the video linked in the article. They mention live streaming, working in a spreadsheet, and long text messages where you have to scroll to read everything

Plus this isn’t just a hardware product, the keyboard shortcuts would be pretty handy for any power user. Sounds like they’ll be rolling out more software for it and have more products in the works

“Creator” in this case presumably means people who want to type lots of stuff
