Perhaps it might make sense to read the rest of my comments regarding the rest of it? Certainly makes that stupid and dishonest part quite ironic.
Turns out Apple not as rich a company as reported. Seems they been using their own calculator. Seems like Apple only worth one quarter of 800 billion. Adding to quickly. Similar results 6 real 24 when keyed too fast.And this whole time I thought Apple was reinventing Mathematics
I just don't buy that, sorry. Especially considering the "fix" has been to disable the animations on the button. Yes, the real world is complicated, in business, software development and everywhere else, really. But if it had been a priority, of course this could have been fixed earlier assuming Apple knew about it (which they must have pretty early on). Meaning for some reason or another it simply had not been a priority until fairly recently. The fact that the story blew up not just on tech website but news outlets worldwide, twitter etc. about how Apple's calculator is embarrassingly broken might have just encouraged them to finally get cracking on it..
The latest 11.1 beta doesn't have the calculator fix.
Well, you are considering that's what the fix was, but we don't actually know what it actually was and might have involved, none of us really do. It's a fair assumption to make, but it's not a given by any means.
I already said what I know: the keyboard uses animation and does not screw up at high typing rates, and other calculators like pcalc have animations that don't limit entry speed. Sure, bugs exist in anyone's code, but we know this is not intrinsic, so a good coder should be able to debug it without losing the animation.
Also calendar 30 minutes defaults or 15 not the hour if someone from Apple should read this please. Tried feedback app with no success
In that particular case it seems like it was some sort of a build distribution issue as I recall which happened as the update was being distributed or getting ready for it essentially. Certainly doesn't excuse it or anything of the sort, but it's somewhat different than that issue being there during normal testing and all that.
And as I mentioned just because two things might seem similar doesn't mean that they are in fact similar, let alone the same. Just because keyboard animations are working fine or because other calculator apps which might not use animations or use one version or another that's available to them, doesn't mean that it all directly applies to another app in the same manner. We can make conjectures, but we still don't know the actual details.
Or "We didn't have time to make the new and improved calculator actually work so please refrain from using it. We expect to have it resolved in 20-30 releases and we think you are going to love it!"
Ok sorry, I was trying to see the question you were replying to but it wasn't showing.
In other words this means all the iP5 and iP5c users will stay with a malfunctioning calculator!?
Based on quite a few people who were complaining about the issue in iOS 11, it seems like it doesn't exist in versions prior to iOS 11 (or at the very least not anywhere even close to the degree that it's to in iOS 11).
You can still be fast with one finger too. But that's not that important really at this point--the issue is there and now has been fixed and will be out to the public in general in an upcoming update.
