Yep. There is even an undicoverable swipe gesture accros the keyboard (just like grandparent suggest Apple would not do): To split the keyboard into two, do a unpinch gesture (two fingers start in the middle, one goes to the right, the other to the left).

Hidden features are just a way to implement adaptive interfaces right? As the user learns and discovers, the interface has more and more advanced features.

Not to mention a long touch to start a zoom cursor. I think its pretty arguable that thats more intuitive.

no. especially if the app crashed all you are doing is removing the icon from the list.

I think he's talking about when an app is in a bad state, and you can kill it to force a cold launch. If the app truly crashed it would cold launch anyway.
- focus to remove an app (people learn that from others )
- splitted keyboard left & right has invisible virtual keys
- double tab the button for process
- kill process by focusing on a process ( very useful when an app has crased, yet undiscoverable )
- double tab then slide left for volume
- screenshot with power + button
- take a photo with the volume button
Hidden features are very Apple-esque
