Apple Finally Plans to Release a Calculator App for iPad Later This Year

[Surf Monkey]

This is, arguably, the stupidest Apple article ever published and probably the best argument for firing and replacing Tim Cook as CEO. It took Apple fourteen years to put a native calculator on iPad (assuming this actually comes to pass.) Fourteen reasons why Tim can’t make even the most basic decisions.

This is really "one more thing" material!

[satchmo]

It better be something different and innovative, Craig.

 

[No5tromo]

Apple never fails to impress with innovation

 

[thegerman]

So I no longer have to buy an iPhone to use the calculator app? Thats a big lead forward!

 

[obamtl]

It is all about AI!!!

I was thinking the same. Surely a revamped calculator app will take advantage of computer vision to simply take pictures of equations, or write an equations, differentials and integration with Apple Pencil, and it not just solves it for you, it also shows you the workings, helping you learn how to do the Math.

I hope it syncs with the iPhone calculator, seemless.

Well on needs to remember they get a % of all of those calculator apps. Then the delay starts to make some sense. One of those calculator apps wanted a monthly subscription, I literally spit out my drink laughing seeing that.

Courage innovation it’s the Apple way ! The best calculator ever ! so the new iPads have nothing else to offer

 

[testcard]

14 years! It had better be good.

The internet: Apple sucks because they Sherlock 3rd party apps.
Also the internet: Why won’t Apple Sherlock calculator apps?

WAY, way overdue. Should have had it at least three years ago.

It's understandable why Instagram for iPad hasn't appeared in the past due to the relatively poor rear cameras on iPads, but ever since the 2018 model iPad Pro models arrived, that's no longer an issue. Given the quality of the camera sensors on the current iPad Pro models, Instagram for iPad should have been available since 2020.

They should just buy pCalc and integrate. Great developer - been using it for years.

 

[BhaveshUK]

I hope it is incredibly distinct and makes me say "Wow"

 

[caioferrari]

What a revolution!

 

[Dreamweaver12]

Finally made possible thanks to the incredible feats of engineering in the M3 processor.

Stage Manager lets Instagram load in a landscape window without it forcing full screen portrait mode. Works well for me.

That took only a century.

 

[transpo1]

And we thought they weren’t going to make the iPad any more productive….

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

This puts the iPad over the top. It is a laptop replacement now.

 

[darngooddesign]

Perfect for everyone who doesn’t want to type their equation into spotlight.

 

[harold.ji]

I guess the minimum requirement for such a powerful tool will be an M1 chip.

You are so optimistic. In fact my guess will be M3 😇 exclusive to new iPad Pros

 

[Shirasaki]

It’s a miracle!!

It’s a MIRACLE!!!!!!

Finally, Apple is able to bring Calculator app to iPad thanks to technological advancements in AI and quantum computing.

And with a 14-year intensive research lead by the best scientists, engineers, programmers, designers. on the planet to come up with this marvellous creation.

Calculator on iPad. Innovation.

Can’t innovate my ********.

The iPad needs 100% parity with iPhone. There is no (good) excuse for anything less.

Yeah because both are running iOS. In fact, all features bars hardware specific should come together at each major release.

How bout the Health app on Mac? Every one of apples native apps should be on all their platforms.

wow, lower your expectations. This is the challenge that may take decades to solve.
