iPad's Long-Awaited Calculator App May Finally Arrive

After 14 years, Apple may introduce a native Calculator app for the iPad in the upcoming iPadOS 18 update. The absence of this basic tool has been a long-standing joke among users, with the iPad relying on third-party apps or workarounds like Spotlight search for calculations. The rumored app is expected to feature a modern design with resizable windows and a history tape for tracking past calculations, similar to the upcoming macOS 15 Calculator app redesign. This move by Apple comes after years of neglecting to include a Calculator app on the iPad, despite it being a staple on other Apple devices like the iPhone and Mac. The potential introduction of this app hints at Apple's renewed focus on enhancing the user experience on the iPad. Stay tuned for more updates on Apple's iPad event scheduled for May 7th, where new iPad models are expected to be unveiled.
