How to make keyboard appear at top of screen

Question

When the user touches a UITextField a keyboard normally slides up from the bottom of the screen.

Is there a way to make the keyboard appear at the top of the screen instead of the bottom?

Answer 1

No, that would be against the UI guidelines and since keyboards are made/controlled/managed by Apple there is no API to do this. At least, not a documented way I'm aware of.

Easy. Turn your phone/iPod/iPad upside down!

(technically this is an answer!)
