No more math hassle: Discover the long-awaited iPad Calculator iOS 18

After years of anticipation and countless user requests, Apple has finally taken the plunge and added a built-in calculator app to the iPad with the release of iOS 18. What started as a minor frustration among iPad users has now turned into a source of joy as the calculator app now comes natively on the device. No more hassle of downloading third-party apps or grabbing your iPhone for quick calculations. iPad users can now enjoy a seamless and integrated calculator experience right from the home screen of their tablet.

Why only now?

But why did it take Apple so long to add this feature? According to insiders and speculation, the company was determined not to just port a simple calculator from the iPhone to the iPad. Apple wanted to create a calculator app that would take full advantage of the iPad’s larger screen. Furthermore, there was always the pressure to meet the high design standards and usability that Apple is known for. With iOS 18, Apple finally felt the time had come to introduce this long-awaited feature, equipped with advanced capabilities and a modern design that perfectly complements the iPad experience.

What can the iPad calculator do?

The iPad’s built-in calculator with iOS 18 offers a range of impressive features. In addition to the basic calculator, the app includes a scientific mode, accessible by simply turning the iPad to landscape mode. This makes advanced calculations simple and accessible. The app supports multitasking, so you can use it in Split View or Slide Over with other apps. Handy memory and history functions ensure that you always have access to your previous calculations. And with Siri integration and a handy widget on the home screen, you have lightning-fast access to all the calculation functions you need. In short, the new calculator app is not only a practical addition, but also a fine example of Apple’s dedication to quality and user experience.
