Hi,
Colour is a big part of Ease of Use on the iPhone.
Wondering why the blue colour shift lock key on the pop up keyboard has been replaced with grey colour changes when in other apps like, Maps, Mail,  Phone, Calculator, Clock, Photos, Camera, ....(almost all native apps) use colour to highlight certain functions?
The removal of the blue colour when activating upper case typing has now slowed my overall typing down, both in landscape & portrait modes, making me less efficient at work & at home.
The reason for this is that I use both thumbs for typing in landscape & I use both right & left thumbs for typing in portrait. While typing, my left hand is usually hovering over that area of the keyboard in both modes where the shift key is located.
In previous iOS I could easily & quickly identify with my peripheral vision if the shift button was on, (be it locked or not) without consciously looking at it because my brain made a subconcious note of the colour blue in the bottom left hand corner.
Now I have to pause, move my hand/thumb aside and concentrate  (albeit for a split second) to check that the shift button is on. This is happening almost every Parragraph & most sentences that I type.
I also type an upper case letter or two and have to continuously backtrack to correct it on most occasions. This simple omission/change has slowed me right down, waisting my precious time & to a lesser extent, energy.
Like all upgrades I give myself several weeks to see if I'll acclimatise to the new changes, and 99% of the time I do. This time however my brain can not adjust.
If Johnny Ives & the Apple Engineers could bring themselves to surreptitiously put back the colour into the shift key function, I would have no thoughts about considering Samsung & would be a satisfied Apple Fan again.
I would be very surprised if I'm the only customer who has noticed this change.
A suggestion for consideration for the Apple Design Engineers, if not change the keyboard to upper case as suggested by others in this thread, then at the very least put the colour back into the shift key and maybe a small shift key (color) icon on the high side of the iPhone & iPad screen so we don't have to make a concious note when we're typing. Our eyes would be able to clearly see that the shift key is on & adjust subconcously with out slowing us down.
Yours sincerely,
Apple Customer.
