Apple is finally bringing its native Calculator app to the iPad with the release of iPadOS 18, which Apple is likely to introduce during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. For years, iPad users have had to download third-party calculator apps or access a web browser just to do math. Many of these third-party apps aren’t all that pleasant to use, as some of them come filled with ads or just don’t mesh well with the iPad’s interface. Not to mention that the better calculator apps, like PCalc, cost money to download.
This isn’t the only calculator rumor we’ve heard recently, either. Earlier this month, a report from 9to5Mac revealed that Apple may be giving the Calculator app a little makeover. It wouldn’t be too much of a shock if Apple brings its Calculator app to the iPad this late in the game — the company also waited an infuriatingly long time before bringing its Weather app to the iPad.
The Calculator app is a fairly basic app, but it’s one of those essential apps that most people use on a regular basis. It’s also one of those apps that’s just better when it’s integrated into the operating system. So, it’s good to see that Apple is finally bringing the Calculator app to the iPad.
