iOS 7 Number/Tel Pad Input

The existing iOS number pad input has a few deficiencies.

1. You can't see where they keyboard ends on a white background

2. There's no readily accessible Next/Done/Return button. Using a number or telephone input in a sequence of native (or web) forms means you have to move your fingers off the keyboard to tap the next input when you're done.

3. There's no obvious space for a period or comma in the layout, which makes entering common numeric values like prices more difficult.

This has been a pet peeve of mine for a while as a developer, so I've been doing brainstorms about how this issue could be fixed.
