Apple has bowed to the demands of its users and finally announced a tiny but significant change in its keyboard.
The electronics giant has altered the on-screen keyboard so that when shift is pressed the entire range of letters will show in uppercase. When shift is off, all letters will show in lower case.
Until now, the only indicator as to whether you were using upper or lower case letters was a change in the shift key arrow from black to gray - something that wasn't particularly obvious.
The change signals an end to the frustration at having to delete letters because you mistakenly typed an upper case when you wanted a lower case, and vice versa.
The beta version was released on Saturday, but the full software is set to be available to new customers in the fall.
It includes a more intelligent Siri, a navigation tool that allows you to search public transit routes, and a 'Nearby' feature - allowing you to browse restaurants, shops and bars in close range.
The Apple News app also gives a constant stream of articles from their favorite publications.
Daily Mail Online is one of the news sites available.
The 'Notes' feature has also been updated, so check-lists can be created. Users will be able to use Apple Music to listen to Beats 1 radio, a 24-hour live station with exclusive interviews and songs.
Following the news the shift button 'irritation' had been fixed, Apple fans took to social media to express their relief.
Steve Kovach tweeted: 'Finally! Lowercase letters on the iPhone keyboard'
Joyce Croft added: 'Oh thank goodness! I had issues with the iPhone shift key.
'So apparently iOS9 finally changes capitalisation of all letters on the keyboard when you press shift. Good,' Dave Perman said.
However Mike Miller was not as thrilled with the development.
He wrote: 'I've personally had zero problems determining whether or not shift was pressed on my iPhone.
Last week it was revealed that Apple is preparing for record breaking breaking sales of its next iPhone.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the tech giant has ordered suppliers to manufacture between 85 million and 90 million units combined of two new iPhone models with 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays by Dec. 31.
Apple last year ordered a then-record initial production run of 70 million to 80 million for its first larger-screen iPhones, the report claims.
The new iPhone, expected to be unveiled on 25 September, is then expected to borrow the aluminium and rose gold colours used in Apple's Watch.
Other predicted features include an A9 processor with 2GB of RAM and an improved 12MP camera. - up from 8MP.
