iPadOS 18 introduces a new Calculator app that initially seems unimpressive, resembling a larger version of the iPhone's app. However, the standout feature is the integration of a calculator into the operating system itself, allowing users to perform calculations directly in text boxes across Apple’s built-in apps. The Math Notes feature in the Notes app is particularly innovative, enabling users to write equations and get real-time answers, although it requires neat handwriting and has some beta quirks. This feature is especially useful for students and engineers, offering a dynamic and interactive way to handle mathematical tasks.
Apple is rumored to be revamping the Calculator app in macOS 15 with features such as an enhanced unit conversion system, "Math Notes" integration with the Notes app, a history tape, and adjustable window sizes. The redesigned app will have a new design inspired by its iOS counterpart and is expected to be previewed at WWDC on June 10, with an official release in the fall.
Apple is working on a significant update to its Calculator app for macOS 15, codenamed "GreyParrot," which includes a new design reminiscent of its iOS counterpart, a history tape feature, Math Notes integration, and an enhanced unit conversion system. The app's new design will feature rounded buttons and adjustable window size, while the unit conversion system will be more intuitive and integrated into the main user interface. The update aims to make the Calculator app more powerful and competitive, potentially rivaling third-party apps like Calcbot and PCalc.
