On iOS 7 & iOS 8 the Shift key will have the following different looks:

  • White Arrow = lowercase letter
  • Black Arrow = Uppercase Letter
  • Underline Black Arrow = CAPS LOCK ON

On iOS 9 the keyboard will actually reflect whether the letters are lowercase or uppercase. CAPS LOCK will still show a line underneath the arrow.
