14 years since the launch of the original iPad, Apple has announced that with the release of iPadOS 18, it will launch its first-ever first-party Calculator app for iPad.
An all-new Math Notes calculator is launching with iOS 18, allowing users to type or write out mathematical expressions and see them instantly solved in their own handwriting. Users can also assign values to variables when learning new concepts in class, calculating a budget, and more. With a new graphing feature, users can write or type an equation and insert a graph with just one tap, and can even add multiple equations on the same graph to see how they relate. And Math Notes are automatically accessible in the Notes app in the new Math Notes folder.
The basic and scientific calculators on iPad make it easy to view complete expressions before completing them. History helps users keep track of previous calculations, and unit conversions let users quickly convert length, weight, currencies, and more.
The absence of a native calculator app on the iPad has been a puzzling oversight for many users. Given the device’s expansive screen real estate and powerful hardware, it always seemed like a natural fit for a built-in calculator, and Apple has finally delivered.
