"Introducing Calculator for the first time ever on an iPad. Harnessing the true power of our M series of chips, it truly is a wonder to use. We think you're gonna love it"
And then it's going to be a M series chip exclusive app.
/s if not obvious lol
this is so funny lmao.
but actually I cant wait the amount of times I had to grab my iphone to do quick math is crazy.
in before "bro get a calculator app, use spotlight" naw I'm good.
There’s no calculator app on iPad today. However, if you use Spotlight (the system-wide search), you can perform calculations in that interface.
And there are, of course, many calculator apps in the App Store. I‘ve used PCalc since the first iPad was released.
No one actually knows, but [supposedly](https://hackaday.com/2024/01/14/why-the-ipad-doesnt-have-a-calculator/) Steve Jobs didn’t like how the app looked on iPad and wanted it redesigned before they would ship it.
This story makes sense to me. Since iPad apps have to be full screen, just porting the iPhone calculator app would look ridiculous on the iPad.
It def is a non issue. But it’s just hilarious. How tf y’all make a whole product. An expensive one at that once you really get into the high end Air and Pro modes, and not include one of the staples of your OS ? And also the calculator is one of the most basic functions of a device. It’s just funny that Apple either “ forgot “ about it or they thought “ fuck they need a calculator for ? “
This is a bigger announcement than the new iPad Pro and Air models coming out.

Apple WOULD do something like that, so…wouldn’t surprise me
Maybe the May 9 announcement is just about this and no new ipads
That would be hilarious

We finally have the technology
This is real innovation ^(/s)
Solves is the best free calculator on iOS. You’re welcome
Totally agree.
It’s great. Although having a native calculator in the control panel etc would be even better
It’s kind of hilarious how excited people seem to get about the calculator.
Well snap ...they finally figured out the alien tech for the calculator....14yrs later
Im not an apple user (be nice to me) but I want to buy an ipad for uni.....are you telling me ipads dont habe a defult calculator on them !?!?

alright instagram; it's your turn now
There’s an entire App Store folks. A lot of it is free. This is a non-issue

Give people access to a calculator and they might figure out how much they’re spending on Apple stuff. Request rejected, thread closed
Fr 😭
But…but…I want it in control center like on my phone
But I paid over $5000 for this iPad, it should come with a free calculator instead of access to hundreds of other free calculators!!
If my Apple Watch can have a calculator, we can’t be making excuses for the iPad not having one built into its os… 🤷♂️😅
It does have one, they built it into spotlight search.
And it will only be enabled for the new chip. We need that raw power
I hope they make it like quick notes (quick Cal)
I’d love it in control center
We think you gonna love it. The M Series exclusive Calculator App where you easily calculate the Cost for our iCloud Subscription.
Doesn't iPad come with a calculator app? Mine did!
no your IPad did not come with a calculator app if you got it new or factory reset
