After 14 years, Apple will do the unheard of on iPads

It sounds unbelievable, but it's true. A full 14 years later, while many thought this day would never come,… apple Maybe he's getting ready To add the official calculator app to iPad!

Yes, for some inexplicable reason, although it's very simple in theory, Apple has never added its own calculator to the iPad. This is an app that was released with the first iPhone in 2007.

When the original iPad debuted in 2010, many of the original iPhone apps were missing, including Stocks, Clock, Voice Memos, and Weather. However, over the years and iPadOS upgrades, one by one all these apps have arrived on the company's tablets. Everything except the calculator. Of course, there are plenty of third-party apps that fill the void, but the absence is still curious.

Now, as conveyed MacRumorsApple may finally be bringing the calculator to the iPad through… iPad OS 18. It is worth noting that we may not be dealing with a simple porting of the existing iPhone application, but with an upgraded version.

Apple plans to revamp the Calculator app for macOS 15, adding history to track previous calculations, changing the window size, and a new look. So, since the iPad and macOS versions of many Apple apps now share a lot of code, it's reasonable to assume that the redesigned Mac app and the new iPad app will be practically the same.

Of course, until Apple officially opens its cards about the future of its software at WWDC 20024, we can't be sure what it's preparing for.
