I just stumbled upon a new Chinese-specific feature in iOS 8. If you select Chinese text in some text editing apps (but not all, not sure why, maybe they need to be updated to take advantage of iOS 8 only features?) you will see an option to convert between simplified and traditional characters.
With custom keyboards now available I've seen a few options for Chinese input, but they all look like they are are for simplified characters only, so I haven't tried them. I would love to see some iOS widgets and keyboards from the makers of Pleco Dictionary.
Cheers,
Kerim
