iOS 11 Bug: Typing 1+2+3 Quickly in the Calculator App Won't Get You 6

You can't unless you jailbreak. Believe me, that used to be the first thing I did. Made my phone feel a lot faster, especially in the apps with slow animations (worst offender: Music).
When is Apple going to deal with input blocking that's plagued iOS since 7.0?
It's insane that it's still here endlessly blocking input. I have to repeat probably every third tap or swipe that I do because it simply ignores it.
Enough to drive you mental when you're trying to do something as quickly as possible.

It glitches when going slow too. Not a big deal since people buy it to run Geekbench and get inflated results rather than do any real work.
There's thinking about it on the surface level--simply that the result can be wrong so the whole app is broken. And then there's thinking about it on a deeper level to try to see exactly what's actually behind it, how is it affecting things, what might be involved in fixing it, what effect that can have, etc. Now the vast majority of typical users the surface level is as far as it goes and as far as they might care, but for many others the actual details can be interesting and distinctions do matter. All of that doesn't change whether or not the issue is there or whether or not it should be fixed or anything like that, but the distinctions are there nonetheless.
Proper calculating technique, that’s hilarious
Somewhat worrisome, I'm a healthcare professional and regularly calculate medication dosages based on weight (often for children) using the calculator app on my phone. Hopefully an incorrect dose didn't slip by due to this bug that I didn't notice. Will definitely be using a standard calculator until this is fixed.
If we can have alternative facts then I guess we can have alternative math
The keyboard has been dropping the first letter typed ever since iOS 10. Quality control, who needs it? (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
Nor does the iPad have a native "Stocks" app. Weird that the iPad comes with LESS software than the iPhone.
Yeah, but those are Google phones. Stuff like that can happen to any mass-produced product.
But being an Apple product, this calculator bug is an example of why Apple is terrible, Tim Cook should be fired, Steve Jobs would never etc. etc. etc.
Don't get me wrong- this bug shouldn't have lasted so long. But it's also an incredibly minor thing to throw a fit about.
Agreed, that’s exactly why I used what I see as the actual problem: input blocking during animation.
But I’m calling out the semantic gymnastics used in refusing to acknowledge that displaying the wrong result to what should be perfectly acceptable input is something that must not be called a calculation glitch.
Just another sign of Apples sliding quality control with regards to software. I'm not the only one that had to downgrade from High Sierra due to show stopping finder bugs and I know plenty of people having issues with iOS 11.
Everybody knows 1+2+3=123Wait.. does that mean 1+2+3 is not 24?
WHAT!
