This seems like sound logic as long as iOS is only used for phones and an on-screen keyboard; but isn't it used for the iPad as well? And wouldn't a lack of Dvorak support mean you can't use it with your standard external keyboard?

I don't know, I'm not an iOS user but it would hugely inconvenience me if the only way I could use Dvorak on Android is to use a keyboard with a hardware Dvorak layout.

Edit: Indeed, it appears that iOS supports Dvorak layout for external keyboards already; this is supporting the native on-screen keyboard

This is a little ambiguous, I assume you mean a (rare) hardware Dvorak keyboard, not that iOS supports remapping a standard ANSI external keyboard to Dvorak - but correct me if that's wrong.

Yes, your assumption here is off - iOS supports remapping standard external keyborads to Dvorak. I’m typing this on Dvorak on my iPad with a standard Logitech keyboard connected via the Smart Connector.
That's good to know, thanks!
