Split keyboard iPhone 6 plus

is there a way I can have a split keyboard on iOS 8 with the iPhone 6 plus? I can't find any 3ed party keyboards that do that.


the ipad has it so why can't I do on the iPhone?

Supposedly - third party keyboard apps are now supported in iOS 8 - but you lose the ability to dictate - which I use quite often.


I must say - the landscape keyboard on iPhone 6 Plus is a gigantic disappointment. I have large hands and have always had to type in landscape mode - and when I heard about the 6 Plus coming out - I only assumed the keyboard would be wider. Not only is it not wider, it's hard to reach the keys in the center area - even with my large hands. And the other keys have been shifted around - playing tricks on my mind when I type. What sense does that make? I've lost a ton of efficiency in my typing moving to the Plus - which counters


Hopefully some folks at Apple are reading this and will at least add some options for the keyboard - two would be great.


1. Split keyboard option.

2. Toggle the extra buttons in landscape on and off - maybe have a "classic" option.


My two cents.

Thumb typing is extremely difficult with the 6S Plus in landscape. 9.3 needs to add split keyboard and zoomed keyboards for iPhones too. All the extraneous keys you rarely need are in prime real estate on the Plus phones in landscape. With my size 7 hands, the 6S Plus is uncomfortable in a protective case for prolonged use in Portrait with one hand, so holding it like a game console controller is more comfortable, but typing is VERY uncomfortable and awkward.
