Keyboard connected to iPhone.
Using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
For ease of typing, you can use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (available separately).
The Apple Wireless Keyboard connects via Bluetooth, so you must pair the keyboard 
with iPhone. See “Pairing a Bluetooth Device with iPhone
”  on page 47 .
Once the keyboard is paired with iPhone, it connects whenever the keyboard is within 
range (up to 30 feet). You can tell that the keyboard is connected if the onscreen 
keyboard doesn’t appear when you tap in a text field.
Switch the language when using a hardware keyboard:   Press and hold the 
Command key, then tap the space bar to display a list of available languages. Tap the 
space bar again to choose a different language.
