iPad Finally Gains Weather App With iPadOS 16

[UltimateSyn]

Awesome, finally! Hope iPadOS 17 gets a calculator.

The only way to bring a Calculator app into iPadOS is to implement proper app windows, where app windows can be small by default.

The approach it seems with the new iPadOS is just big iPad apps scaled down. That means apps need to be designed to take advantage of the entire display, which in turn will look like a waste of space and will be ridiculous looking.

Hallelujah.

The sheer technical requirements of a Calculator app for iPadOS mean that an M3 cpu is needed, at least

With iPadOS 16, Apple is finally bringing a native Weather app to the iPad, taking advantage of the larger iPad display. Apple is also introducing WeatherKit for developers on the platform.

The iPad's lack of a Weather app has been a long-running joke with iPad users. While iPadOS 16 brings a Weather app to the iPad, it does not seem the iPad is gaining a Calculator app. iPadOS 16 will be available to developers for beta testing later today and to public beta testers in July.

ONLY TOOK THEM 12 YEARS! WHY IN THE HELL IT WASN'T THERE SINCE THE START IS ONE OF LIFES GREAT MYSTERIES (like why am i shouting about this)

About time, FOR CRYING OUT CLOUD. ☁️

Now bring it to Mac, please.

They did

 

[Wildkraut]

This is long overdue. Now why no calculator app?

Because it will just work with the next NEW iPad, needs newer ML of M2.

IPadOS is such a disappointment, Apple just doesn't want their users to use the device more like a laptop. It has the power, but they are holding it down.

Yeah, I’m going to reserve judgment about iPadOS 16 is actually released. Too many friction points on that list that we couldn’t read. The M1 iPads getting access to VM and full use of up to 16GB of DRAM is a game changer in the life of iPadOS, so let’s see how that goes before we continue crying about bad iPadOS is?!

Weather app finally on Mac as well!

 

[GMShadow]

Honestly I started laughing when they showed off Weather and then proceeded onward with no mention of Calculator.

 

[BornAgainMac]

Professional apps. Final Cut Weather in the Fall and Final Cut Calculator someday.

 

[SSDGUY]

What's harder to believe?
A. The fact that we finally have Weather on iPad
B. The fact that we still don't have Calculator on iPad

"The calculator needs to look just right (cue hand gesture v1) on the iPad (cue hand gesture v2) so our customers will love using it (cue hand gesture v1). It's a multi-decade project, but our team of Apple engineers are up to the challenge!" (cue hand gestures v1 and v2)

I hope this is more along the lines of Dark Sky.

LOL unbelievable, how is this even a thing?

How is it that people waiting for a weather and calculator app from Apple’s a thing?

 

[Ruggy]

Why does anyone need this? Who needs a weather app calling home every few minutes?
There are loads of sites that will give you accurate weather. Choose the one you like and add a bookmark to your browser. Why is that such a big deal?

 

[Menel]

Kinda obvious after iOS16 it was getting it as it would need it for the lock screen animation (if it gets it).

Not necessarily, I pad has the iOS/iPhone style weather widget even though the app is not present. Just redirects to a clunky website.

 

[NinjaHERO]

First, you all are killing it on these joke responses. LMAO.
Also, pathetic it took this long. So annoying not to have this app. Very happy it’s finally coming.

I hope this is more along the lines of Dark Sky.

Apple bought and has integrated Dark Sky for two years now I think.

Meanwhile, folks not waiting for Apple have pencil based calculator apps today with smart function recognition.

To you angry "No Calculator App!" complainers, use this...
Apple Abacus
/s

 

[kiensoy]

Now with floating windows it would have been a good time to add a calculator.

 

[boston04and07]

Happy about this, but I’m honestly amazed that we have the Weather app before the Calculator app…

or Health, full Fitness app, Wallet app…

😒

A feature that should have been there 12 years ago...
