Dvorak Simplified Keyboard Setting

Apple was instrumental in getting consumers interested in learning the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard instead of the QWERTY Standard Keyboard in the 80's. So much so, that ANSI (American National Standards Institute) adopted it and is available to be selected in almost every operating system whether it's Mac, Windows, or Linux.

I am surprised that Apple does not have a setting on their current iPhone to be able to change the keyboard setting to Dvorak if the user so desires. I know many probably do not want to change from QWERTY, but those of us that have changed over to Dvorak, see the benefit and have no desire to change back.

Come on iPhone, please make this setting available! ... After all, Apple II was responsible for it's increased popularity and the adoption by ANSI. I am waiting for a handheld cell device to come out that offers the Dvorak option. With iPhone having a virtual keyboard, it should be the easiest to market. The first manufacturer to offer the Dvorak Simplified Keyboard alternative, will get my sale and my business.
