iOS 18 Notes App: All the New Features

[NightFox]

Great... however, you still need to check your math...

Passes + Kayaks + Snacks + Gear +
Sunscreen + Water = $475

$475 ÷ 5 = $95 each

There are SIX items, so...
$475 ÷ 6 = $79.17 each

Maybe Apple Intelligence will fix it for you?

I think you misunderstood the question being asked. Why on earth would you want to work out the average cost per item?

You don't divide it by the number of items, you divide it by the number of people in the group. (😉)

Kayaks have feelings too.

Is there a decimal to binary or hex converter, either in Math Notes or the new calculator?

I love the variables concept in Math Notes for being able to write any equations with them. But it would be a nice touch if you could add, immediately after a list of expenses (e.g.), the line "Total =" and it sums the list above it, so you wouldn’t have to type all those variables out again in an equation. ‘Course, it would have to be smart enough to know the start of the list. But easy enough, I think, with a blank line above it.

According to the keynote, you can draw a line under a list of numbers to get the total.

I really like this wallpaper - does anyone know where its from?

Yep, this is correct. Brandon Butch demonstrated this in one of his latest videos about the calculator app and Math Notes.

Collapsible sections will probably be the main feature of iOS 18 / macOS / iPadOS for me!

 

[Ray2]

So typically Apple. The app is currently riddled with issues and a UI that is inconsistent with other iOS apps and they don't mention fixing anything (timely syncs, backups, exports, imports, printing, UI , etc) and add superfluous features. It’s an Apple app, designed to be so bad it makes you want to pay, so Apple can get its cut.

Do you think the SmartScript tech will also be used to improve handwriting recognition?

 

[MilaM]

There are some nice features. But I guess most will only work, when you use the iCloud-synced notes? I still sync with IMAP for compatibility reasons.

Question:

Are files attached by making a copy that lives inside the note, or it a reference to a file that remains where it is? Or can I choose?

Copies

You can generally use reverse image search in cases like this. It lead me to a 1280x1920 version here: https://www.tumblr.com/montanarosepainter/132424508682

Sweet! Even better! Thanks

Does anyone know of a good app that does the audio transcription now that doesn’t send your data to chat gpt or any of the other AI services?

 

[Phaseangle]

Audio recording and transcribing is available on the iPhone 12 and later, but the feature only works in English.

I bet that’s really US English not English.

 

[JordanCautious]

IM LOOKING FOWARD TO THIS! I'm a Notes power user so I will be making use of most of these features!

I understand people are drawn to novelties and gimmicks but otherwise how is this math useful? Aside from light weight use by a high school or liberal arts major just use Excel.

tradies, builders, working out measurements/costs for quotes/jobs

Still sounds like a job for Excel. But alternatives are good.

Excellent. Are you planning to transition to Notes?

 

[Surfsalot]

Yes i will, I Get customers ring for quotes so can write down their details and do calculations in the one note. Nothing can't do with a pen paper and calculator though.

You don't divide it by the number of items, you divide it by the number of people in the group. (😉)

Why type/write all that out, most people can mentally do all that with a calculator, so gimmicky.
