What do you mean by "alphanumeric"? If you want numbers on the same level as letters, you have to get a 3rd party keyboard from the App Store.

Yes. The numbers are on top of the letters. I did download an alphanumeric keyboard for my iPad air but deleted it after security warnings. I am staying with an android phone for 2 reasons the main one being the keyboard. The other is a lack of fingerprint sensor on the iPhone. I've had a facial palsy following Lyme Disease and facial recognition is difficult as I recover. I've had issues at airport security with this.
