Earlier this year, there were rumors about a calculator App finally coming to the Apple IPadOS 18. There were lots of doubts regarding that information but it has been confirmed. In this article, I wail talk about the new built in calculator App for the IPadOS 18.


Apple WWDC


So the Apple WWDC event took place today (10th June) and there were some updates about IOS 18 and IPadOS 18. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is an annual event hosted by Apple were they reveal new updates regarding their products be it customization, applications and software


Apple IPad's new calculator


Following the event, I won’t lie, some announcements were disappointing but there are some takeaways. I will talk about some new features and this article is about the new calculator. Yes, if you are not aware, there hasn’t been a calculator software on IPadOS for over 14 years except for the most recent update (IPadOS18) which was announced today. Anyone who got the Apple IPad would notice there’s so in-built calculator app which is usually the standard for all devices today. For starters, it looks like your basic calculator found on any mobile device. This calculator will support Apple Pencil meaning you can write.


Calculator modes


The calculator will be made up of three different modes, we have Basic Calculator, Scientific Calculator and Math notes. You can swap calculator options by clicking on the calculator icon found of the bottom left on the screen. After that, you will be given the option to choose which your calculator mode. Basic calculator is basically your average “basic” calculator (simple mathematical symbols such as addition, multiplication etc. and numbering). Scientific will have options not found in basic calculate and will be closer to a “scientific calculator” for instance Tan, Cos etc.


Math notes


This calculator has some features not found in other calculation apps. It will include a feature known as “Math Notes” which lets users write out math problems and the answer automatically shows up. These problems can be advanced math problems which includes features found in scientific calculators. This doesn’t only apply to math problems but also complex physics problems with the addition of graphs. Altering instances in long problems will also reflect on the final answer.


Closure


Even though this new addition seems basic, there’s a lot of excitement about it. For starters, people who are hardcore fans of IOS won’t feel embarrassed considering the mobile war that has been going on between Android and IOS users for a long time. Apple did not reveal why it took this long to add a calculator but now there’s so much hope for the future. This calculator also comes with “math notes” which is a feature that looks like it has a lot of potential.
