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.
