The problem likely comes from the auto-correct software or it could be linked to emojis. Some users get an "I" in the frequently used emoji section. Here's a temporary fix for the problem.

Go to settings, general, keyboard, text replacement, and tap the plus sign.

In "phrase," type an uppercase "I." In "short-cut" type a lowercase "i." This overrides the autocorrect so that every time you type a lowercase "i" it will change to an uppercase "I."

For the most part, this will solve the problem. Apple plans to fix the problem in a future software update.
